Sisters Receive Surprise Early Christmas Presents as Part of Charity Tour

Twin sisters in Blythewood, South Carolina, were surprised to find Santa's elves bringing them early Christmas gifts on December 10. Footage recorded by Yuri Williams shows sisters MiKenli and MiKenzi Smith being visited by a pair of elves bringing gifts to children across the 50 states. MiKenli, seen in the footage wearing braces on her legs, is living with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), Williams https://www.instagram.com/afuturesuperheroandfriends/ wrote, which affects her joint movement. "MiKenli has undergone over 15 surgeries and worn more than 97 casts on her legs alone," Williams https://www.instagram.com/afuturesuperheroandfriends/ wrote. "She is facing bilateral hip replacement, and surgeries on both her shoulders and hands. Although amputation was considered, she is overcoming these challenges every day," he https://www.instagram.com/afuturesuperheroandfriends/ continued. The sisters can be seen in the footage greeting the elves outside their door and receiving gifts. The visit in Blythewood was part of the 5th annual Hope for the Holidays Tour, arranged by the A Future Superhero charity, which normally https://afuturesuperhero.com/about_us/ supports people experiencing homelessness. Williams told Storyful the charity has since completed the 50-state tour, ending in Hawaii. (Footage by Yuri Williams/Storyful via Getty Images UGC)
