Some expectant mothers in Richmond are getting some help this holiday season. Another Breakthrough Ahead Learning Center held a community baby shower yesterday. Toys, clothes and other items were handed out. One woman tells 8News it's nice to meet and talk to new moms, and the items passed out are helpful for a single mom.
Hundreds of kids in Chesterfield County are getting toys this Christmas thanks to a mom who wants to honor her son's memory. North Carolina's Bonny Parker was at the Manchester Moose Lodge in North Chesterfield yesterday to pass out toys to about 200 kids. It was part of the Ride on Cannon Foundation named after her five-year-old son, Cannon, who was killed while riding his bike four years ago. Parker tells CBS 6 this keeps her going every day, and she knows Cannon's happy that this is going on in his memory.
