LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — For the past 29 years, Walker Furniture has been making sure that deserving less fortunate Las Vegas Valley families have a home for the holidays.
The second surprise of the holiday season was for the Williams family who lives in Spring Valley.

Las Vegas Metro Officers Quincy Gibbons and Anthony Edwards saw the need to help a local mom of seven ahead of the holidays. The officers met the family because both take part in a mentorship program where they met one of Denise Williams' sons, Ray Ray.
Officer Edwards said, "We really grew a bond with them we were bringing Ray Ray home at the end of our program and we were coming to see the family, and I know that mom was struggling. I could tell that she would really benefit from the help, so I was just trying to make it easier on her.”
"It's honestly, amazing being able to help a family on a different level, rather than you just being there on emergency calls or you know during your police work,” said Officer Gibbons.
A Christmas wish come true for the Williams family. The simple gesture from their friendly neighborhood officers turned into a mighty holiday miracle. The family received new beds, mattresses, living room furniture, and Christmas decor.
When KTNV reporter Zora Asberry asked Denise Williams, “What would you like to say to Walker Furniture?”
Williams replied, "Thank you so much. I really do appreciate it; I'm very grateful and thankful that my family was chosen for this, I don't know what else to say, I’m just excited!”
Just as excited as her mom and big brother, was little Malaya, who cheered as presents and furniture were brought in, saying, "Yay, it's a Merry Christmas!"
