Microsoft surprises boy who gave up Xbox to donate blankets

Nine-year-old Mikah Frye made news earlier this month when he chose to buy blankets for the homeless, rather than receive the Xbox One he had long wanted for Christmas. The idea came to him when he and his grandmother noticed several homeless individuals shivering from the cold while they were out in Ashland, Ohio. Feeling a desire to lend a helping hand, Mikah wanted to give blankets to these people, but grandma reportedly told her grandson that he had to give up something in return. So Mikah decided it would be the Xbox One that he’d give up, which would pay for 60 blankets. But when Microsoft heard what Mikah did, the company decided the 9-year-old would still be getting and Xbox for Christmas.
