DENVER - An 8-year-old autistic girl from Denver told her family she didn't want any Christmas gifts this year. Instead, she wanted to celebrate the holiday by doing something else: give back to those who need it most.
MaryBella Rose, 8, told her family she simply wanted to celebrate Christmas with the homeless by giving them presents. On Christmas Day, that's exactly what she did.
"I told Santa I didn't want any Christmas presents this year because, you know what? I'm hanging out with my homeless friends and that means more to me than a gift from Santa," Rose told Denver7 reporter Jason Foster.
Setting up shop at the corner of Larimer Street and Park Avenue in Five Points, she handed out 100 thermal blankets, 100 ponchos, 150 cupcakes, socks, gloves and water.

Some People Talk; Other People Do
Instead of getting gifts for Christmas, this little girl delivered them -- to the homeless in Downtown Denver.
