The Beautiful Angel Box Provides Those in Need with Tools to Start a Better Life
Inspired in part by his own Christmas novelette, a writer sets out to create a unique gift designed to help the homeless short term and long term.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Last year, after writing "The Beautiful Angel, a Christmas Love Story", the author David Ho, decided to take the heartfelt message within his story one step further by creating the ultimate Christmas present designed to have not only short-term benefits, but also a long-term positive impact to those who receive it.

A year later, he still continues to go out and randomly hand out this life-changing gift, which he now calls "The Beautiful Angel Box" to those whom he feels needs it the most – the homeless and those who are less fortunate.
Inside this box are five items:
(1) A Christmas card with $10 cash.
(2) Three Ventra single-use CTA cards.
(3) A gift certificate to a restaurant.
Perhaps the most important of these items is the fourth and fifth ones, which are two books:
(1) "How to Win Friends and Influence People"
(2) "The Success Principles"
The idea for including these books came from a "motivational seminar" David Ho attended where the speaker mentioned how applying the concepts in one of these books helped her out of homelessness.
Why This Gift Is Important... Especially Now.
Even though this was actually started last year, the author feels that this year, the "Beautiful Angel Box" is needed more than ever.
"It seems, almost everywhere I look, there is so much negative news of people trying to hurt each other, especially now, during the Christmas season," the author says.
Another Reason for Spreading the Word.
It takes time and money to make these boxes (the author uses his own money and does this himself). The author can only get so many of these boxes out, which is why he decided to spread the word so that others can create their own "Beautiful Angel Box", not just for the homeless, but for all those who need hope and encouragement that they have within them, a gift that can help the world.
"In my book, 'The Beautiful Angel, a Christmas Love Story', there is this character who aspired to become a doctor. Unfortunately, as fate would have it, he did not go on to become a doctor. He ended up homeless," says Ho.
The author wonders how many of these homeless people whom he (and others) encounter in their daily lives could have been doctors, teachers or someone who can help our world that is so desperately in need of help.
The book that inspired the project is, "The Beautiful Angel... A Christmas Love Story", which you can access here on Amazon:
