DDG: Lonely Vet Gets Hundreds Of Christmas Cards Thanks To Social Media

When Jared Nickel of Beaverton, Michigan, learned that his neighbor, 93-year-old veteran Larry Pratt, was sad about receiving fewer holiday cards in recent years, he decided to take action. Nickel shared Pratt's story on social media, leading to an overwhelming and positive reaction, with cards and gifts from across the country filling his home.

Pratt, who lives alone and usually spends time with Nickel, expressed immense gratitude and joy for the unexpected flood of cards and letters. He says the messages in these cards go far beyond just signatures; they include heartfelt letters and stories, showing the senders' genuine desire to spread holiday cheer.

This holiday season has become a memorable one for Pratt, thanks to the kindness and thoughtfulness of strangers. Nickel was surprised by the response, but says that Pratt is “a great neighbor and good guy,” and that he “deserves every one” of the cards and gifts. The vet is taking his time reading and re-reading the cards and says that he wishes he could meet all the people who cared enough to send him a holiday greeting.
