Autism Delaware received a late Christmas gift Jan. 10 when 21-year-old Georgetown resident Hope Pearce presented the organization with a check for $1,205.05.
Looking to give back to an organization that has helped her, Pearce started Ornaments of Love a few months ago, taking orders on individually designed Christmas tree ornaments. She said she thinks that much money is really going to help Autism Delaware.
"I hope I can do it next year,” Pearce said. “Who knows what the big number will be next year?"
