Burglars ruin Christmas dream in Kansas City home
Monnie Jo Gardner, 56, faced a ruined Christmas after burglars stole gifts, money, a tree, and groceries from her inner city home while the family attended a Shriner's party. The loss totaled about 1200 dollars. Her family relies on Social Security, welfare, and occasional babysitting income. The rent had risen to 300 dollars, with six months behind, and she faces diabetes and kidney infections. The raid prompted her to fear going out, as she questions why anyone would target a family struggling to survive.
