A story of tragedy turned into a glimmer of happiness on Chicago’s South Side.

Two siblings who lost their father to gun violence just three weeks ago were treated Thursday to a surprise shopping spree at Walmart.

State Rep. Bob Rita offered the gift to 6-year-old Da'Miyah and 7-year-old Daniel Gardner.

The two have found it difficult to enjoy the Christmas season without their father who used to dress up as Santa.

Each of them received a $1000 gift card to get whatever they wanted. They each left the store with a new bike.
