Alvin Bamburg, 66, was deep in the woods in Grand Cane, Louisiana, last December when something caught his eye. Among the fallen branches and leaves, it looked like litter. But Bamburg was attracted and picked it up.
"God just told me, " he later recounted.
As he drew closer, he saw that it was a broken balloon. Attached was a piece of paper decorated with sparkly star stickers. It was a child's Christmas wish list.
"Dear Santa, " the handwritten note read. "My name is Luna. I am four years old. I live in Liberal, Kansas. This year I have been nice. I would like candy, Spider-Man ball, Frozen doll. With love, Luna. "
Bamburg's heart hammered in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he had dreamed of this very scenario. "Years ago, " he says, "classes at school released balloons with notes. I've always wanted to find one. "
He believed this was his childhood wish coming true. And he knew he was going to make Luna's wish come true too.
However, the task seemed impossible, as Liberal, Kansas, is more than 650 miles from Grand Cane, Louisiana. But Bamburg's wife, Lee Ann Bamburg, didn't mind the distance. As an enthusiastic Facebook user, she had seen other people find all sorts of connections through the site and thought it might help her husband find Luna.
The next day Alvin posted a photo of the balloon and the Christmas list on his Facebook page, asking for help locating the sender.
At first, he wasn't confident the strategy would work. But as he saw the number of shares and comments on his post climbed into the hundreds, his hope grew into expectation. "I knew we were going to find Luna. " Alvin said.
And indeed, they did.
