Mrs Santa helper sparks charity in Midland towns
In Midland Texas Jo Forrester, mistaken for Mrs Santa by a newspaper story, now spends a 30 day leave handling about 300 calls daily from children. She and co workers collect toys clothes and food for needy families and aid social service agencies. Her husband plays Santa and their son acts as Snowball the elf. The public misstep grew into a local goodwill effort benefiting several families and public assistance cases.
