Biagia “Bessie” McCoy, of Oswego, enjoys her gift bag from the Hadcock family, of Mexico, a few days before Christmas. Pictured with McCoy are Josh and Jacob (in the foreground) Hadcock, who delivered gift bags along with a Wii gaming system to Oswego Hospital. The boys’ parents wanted their sons to learn about giving after they received 50,000 Christmas cards following a bogus story circulating on the Internet.What started as a bogus post on the Internet, a Mexico family turned into a lesson on the importance of giving during this holiday season.

Ron and Amie Hadcock’s son, Jacob, began receiving Christmas cards in the mail in late November after a false post on the web said he was dying and all he wanted for Christmas was cards. Soon cards from throughout the world began appearing in the family’s mailbox, and to date more than 50,000 cards have been delivered to the house. Some of the cards contained money, all wished Jacob and his family a happy holiday.
