Kaylee said she didn\u2019t want anything else for Christmas, just wanted to hand out the plushies. Another local family saw the online plea and sprang into action. Sisters Morgan and Gabriella Bridges knew after moving to Lakeland with bins and bins of plushies &#8211; that they could definitely donate 100 of them to make the little girl\u2019s Christmas wish come true. They counted out 100 stuffed animals and met up with Kaylee to hand over the donation. Kaylee\u2019s mom Amanda said Kaylee cried when she found out that a couple of strangers wanted to help her. Kaylee is excited to hand out the plushies while caroling at Scott Lake Rehabilitation this Sunday, December 18 at 10 am and hopes she can bring a smile to the faces of the residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A little girl\u2019s selfless Christmas wish was posted on a local Lakeland Facebook community page by her mother, Amanda Rivas.
