For the past two holiday seasons, Sheri Perry Brown and A Blessing In Disguise, Inc. have been quietly changing lives right here in Natchez — and The Natchez Democrat has been there to tell the story.

In December 2024, the Natchez Democrat featured Sheri shopping side-by-side with single mom Le’Vian Faust and her daughter Miranda at the Natchez Walmart. Thanks to the organization Sheri founded in honor of her late husband, NFL player Boyd Brown Jr., the family walked out with everything they needed for a joyful Christmas — toys and gifts the kids might not have had otherwise.

One year later, in December 2025, the Natchez Democrat once again spotlighted Sheri and A Blessing In Disguise. They shared the heartwarming moment when another deserving Natchez single mother and her children received the same blessing: a full shopping cart, big smiles, and the simple joy of a mom being able to personally pick out Christmas presents for her kids.

These aren’t just news stories — they’re proof of what your donation does. Every gift helps us continue Boyd’s generous spirit by lifting the holiday stress off single moms and letting them create real Christmas memories for their children, right here in the MissLou.
