«Breaking News» Arizona couple drive to Mexico to deliver gifts to 8-year-old girl after finding her Christmas list

As a young boy, Randy Heiss never had any of his letters answered by Santa Claus. 

After coming across a balloon with a Christmas list addressed to Saint Nicholas, he was determined to give an eight-year-olde girl everything she asked for.

Randy, 60, had gone out for a hike with his dog Feliz  the morning of Dec. 16 when he came across a shredded balloon resting atop of the grass near his ranch in Patagonia, Arizona.  

He was about to pick it up and toss it in the garbage when he noticed the handwritten note attached to a string. 

Randy, who is not fluent in Spanish, had no idea what the letter, signed by Dayami, said, but he was pretty sure it was a Christmas list.

Dayami thanked the Heiss family for taking the time and effort to reply to her letter

She tied this note to a balloon and hoped that Santa Claus would bring her gifts

His wife Marcella Heiss, who reads and speaks Spanish, then figured it was a girl who had put together a list because she had asked for an 'Enchantimals' doll, an 'Enchantimals' dollhouse, clothes, art supplies and slime, among other items. 

For Randy and Marcella, the note brightened their holiday after losing their only son nine years ago. They have no grandchildren.  

At first, Randy told the Washington Post that he took to his Facebook account seeking help from some friends he had in the Mexican border city of Nogales.

He made a wild guess that the winds had blown the letter up north from the town that's just 20 miles southwest from his home.

Days went by without any leads before Randy reached out to Radio XENY, a station based out of Nogales.

'My husband said, "I know I am going to find her,"' Marcella told Univision.

'Just like the girl had faith, he had faith that he was going to find that girl.' 

A message was placed on the station's Facebook account last Wednesday. A day later, Dayami and her family had been located.

Randy and his wife drove to a local Walmart and rounded up some gifts for Dayami and her four-year-old sister Ximena, and then made the 45-minute drive across the Mexico-U.S. border.

The Heiss family met Dayami and her family at the radio station's office.

As was the case with Randy, Dayami and Ximena had seen a couple of Christmases come and gone without Santa responding to their carefully crafted lists.

'Their eyes were wide open with wonder,' he said to the Washington Post. 'Like, 'Oh, my gosh, this really did work!' ' 

'We now have friends for life,' Randy said.

'And, for a day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
