South Carolina Motorist Rescues Gift During Rush-Hour Traffic

DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. Santa Claus evidently has helpers everywhere. Lauren Harper was driving in South Carolina when she saw a wrapped gift bouncing on the road like it'd just come off a vehicle. She stopped, checked for traffic, snagged the present and used social media to track it to a daycare where the gift originated. It was a framed footprint of a baby who attends the daycare. So a footprint left enough footprints behind to be tracked down. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Recent threats to federal funding are challenging the way stations like JPR provide service to small communities in rural parts of the country.
Your one-time or sustaining monthly gift is more important than ever.
