Trahn Bryant lost her house and her car during Hurricane Matthew.
Her three children gained everything Saturday morning when they received a toy and clothes for Christmas.
Anyah Whitehead, 9, Kamaurye Whitehead, 7, and Phoenix Merchant, 3, showed their mother the new toys they picked out at the 104th Empty Stocking Fund event at Goldsboro High School.
Wayne County teachers chose 653 students to receive toys and clothes for Christmas, and the Goldsboro News-Argus asked the community to help children in need.
The community responded.
People donated toys, clothes from Belk and fruit. Families filled the school's auditorium to listen to Christmas music before their children were called to enter the library for their new gifts.
