Feel Good Story: Family Helps 500 Kids with Halloween Costumes

A few years ago, a couple in Tulsa, OK, named Emily and Richie Bolusky, were giving out candy to some trick-or-treaters, when they noticed one little girl without a costume.

When they asked why she wasn’t dressed up, the little girl told the Boluskys she didn’t have a costume because her parents couldn’t afford one.

Well, the Boluskys daughter (who was 9 years old at the time), ran to her room to grab and old costume to give to this little girl.

This kind-hearted action led to something much bigger . . .

With the help of a friend named Myriam, the family decided to set up a makeshift costume shop in their driveway.

They’re calling it “Myriam Poppins’ Costume Closet,” and the very first year they did it, they handed out about 150 costumes. Some costumes they had bought themselves to be given away, and others were donated by friends and family in the community.

The second year, they were able to hand out 175 costumes.

This year marks the third year for the “Myriam Poppins’ Costume Closet,” and they have about 500 costumes to be given away to kids that otherwise wouldn’t be able to have a costume!
