All right, guys, we're going to grant a breaking and entering Christmas wish this morning. KP is out on the streets, and this wish this morning is for a single dad who's been faced with some hard times raising his kids. You know, we hear so many stories about single moms, and we also hear there are so many more single dads these days. And these are people who are just trying to make Christmas bright for their kids. And KP, good morning.

Good morning.

We ready to go?

We are. We're outside. We're freezing our tails off, but we're here. Kroger Truck is here. We're all ready to go.

I love it. By the way, thank you to Kroger because during the break and entering Christmas wish time, they have loaded up all of our wish recipients. with all the food that they will need for the holidays and then some. So incredible. Kroger's been a longtime partner of the Mojo and the Morning Show, Breaking and Entering Christmas Wish, and they never say no. It's unbelievable. And actually, it's funny because we jokingly will go to them sometimes going, I don't think they're going to, I think they're tapped out. No. If it's for the community, Kroger cares, and the Kroger does it for us.

And they're awesome. Travis is here. He's been on a lot of our drops in the past, including our Christmas in July. He's been amazing for us. Special. And he is here again.

All right, so is Emily there? Is Michael's sister Emily there?

She is.

Good morning. Hi. Good morning. How are you? Not bad. How are you? I'm doing good. Do you happen to know Mojo from Mojo in the Morning? Yeah. Well, he would like to talk to you.

Okay. Hello? Michael, hi. How are you, buddy?

Not bad. How are you?

We're doing good, man. I got to tell you, I just got a chance to see a picture of you and your beautiful children. Your sister, Emily, wrote a letter for our breaking and entering Christmas wish. And I want you to listen to how beautiful this letter was all about you and what an amazing dad you are. You ready, Michael? Yes. Here you go.

Dear Mojo in the morning, my name is...

Emily and I'd like to nominate my brother Michael for your breaking and entering Christmas wish this year. Michael is a devoted single father to two beautiful young girls, Brooklyn who will be 13 on the 22nd of December and Bailey who is eight. He works endless hours to make ends meet and still the obstacles keep piling on from a broken stove to a dryer that no longer works and recently simply getting to work became a struggle when he lost his vehicle. These circumstances have left him holding on by the seams financially. Bills are piling up, and keeping up with rent has become nearly impossible, leaving Michael and the girls at risk of being evicted. Mojo, this family deserves to stay in their home and celebrate Christmas together. Please help this family this holiday season. Sincerely, Emily.

Man.

Michael, your sister loves you very much. Yeah, and I love her. It's special, man. It's special to know, first off, that you got family there. But it's also special to know that we got a great guy here that is raising two beautiful children.

And doing whatever it takes to make ends meet and to make home home for them.

Thank you. Michael, how old are you, buddy? 36. You had a lot poured on you at 36 years old.

Yeah, the last five years have been pretty rough on me.

Man, you got beautiful children, though. I'm sure you look into Brooklyn and into Bailey's eyes and say, we're doing it for you guys. We're one family. Stand in.

They're why I get up and go to work every day. We're going to start bringing in some stuff for you. Oh, wow.

Do you want to get a better life?

Michael, we got truckloads of stuff that we're going to bring in. But most importantly, we're going to bring into you a recognition that as a dad, nobody does it better than you, my friend.

I don't know what to say.

Don't say anything. Just say, this is pretty damn cool. I got KP and my sister here with a ton of stuff, and we're going to make Christmas bright for you guys. Are the kids up and about?

They are. They heard the dogs going off of you guys now. We heard them too.

Sorry.

Michael, what kind of work do you do? What do you do to earn money?

I do construction, everything from small fixes to full remodels.

and you do great work too so if anybody's listening and they need anything this is the guy that we want to make sure that you pour your money into and try to help him out

Michael tell us how cool it is to be a dad tell us how much you love your girls

oh it changed my life I'm a better person today because of them

yeah

I bet man there's nothing more fulfilling and more rewarding than seeing those kids and seeing their eyes right now. Look at them looking at everything.

I can hear their excitement. I love it.

Well, Michael, what were you going to do for Christmas if this wish didn't get granted for you?

I don't know, honestly. I always pull it out of my rear end somehow.

Well, guess what? You do not have to think about that or stress about that this year because as you can see, and I mean, this is Tip of the Iceberg, We are taking care of all of it for you.

Yeah.

This is my sister, Brooklyn.

So I want you to know that Emily gave us details about Bailey, the cute little voice that you just heard, and Brooklyn. And what she said was, this is all the stuff that they wanted for Christmas. We got everything on their list.

Yes, everything. We heard Bailey is a Wicked fan. We got her everything Wicked. My girl. And Brooklyn is a Hello Kitty fan, so we got her everything Hello Kitty.

We also made sure that this is the big important stuff, because I know that your biggest stress is just keeping that roof over your head.

Yeah.

We wanted to make sure that that roof, though, underneath had things that you can use, because we heard how you were getting by without all the appliances that you can...

Like a dryer. Yeah. They were air-drying your clothes, so we... When you grow up poor, you got to do what you got to do. Yeah. Well, we're taking care of that for you. No more of that.

We went out and got you a big fat gift card from Lowe's so that you can go get yourself that dryer. But also, we're going to write you a check. Make sure that this check is put in your account so that you can get it.

You don't have stress of wondering how you're going to be paying that rent. And then Kroger is there with us right now. Kroger is going to fill every single one of your cupboards with all the food that you will need to feed those girls this Christmas and beyond.

That's awesome. I really don't know what to say.

You're saying it all. And the video of seeing you says it all. I remember the day I became a dad. I remember when Joe was born, and I know Kev and Shannon, you guys remember the days that Joe and Lucy were born. When you first become a parent, you don't realize that there is more to life, and it's the most to life. When you saw Brooklyn for the very first time, that had to be one of those moments that you go, this is surreal, there is definitely a God when you see that. Yes, definitely. And now look at her, 13 years old, and she's running that house with you.

She thinks she can.

Buddy, you're loved, man. You're a loving guy, but you are loved. I want you to know that sometimes people don't understand how loved they are until a moment like this happens.

Especially by your sister, Emily. Look at her and tell her you love her.

Oh, I do love my sister, and she knows it.

Yeah. If you're watching on Facebook, by the way, This is the most perfect moment that we're talking to him. The girls are there. It's just starting to snow. And we're bringing in all of these amazing gifts. I mean, just the topper of toppers to this breaking and entering Christmas season.

And I was getting ready to go to work.

Well, we'll call for you and tell him that you're going to be just a tad late. Merry Christmas, my friend.

Oh, he got mine. My boss is awesome. Oh, good.

KP, shout it out. Tell everybody in that neighborhood it's Christmas time and it's at Michael's house.
