PLANT CITY, Fla. — A year ago, Thalia Soloman came from Guatemala with her two children to join her relatives.
As Christmas nears this year, a new challenge faces the 22-year-old mother: how to buy Christmas gifts for their children.
That’s why a local group called Colectivo Árbol and more than a dozen Hispanic volunteers joined forces this week to help families and mothers like Soloman by providing toys and clothes as well as food for Christmas dinner.
