Bamburg told \"GMA\" he came across it while hunting in Grand Cane, Louisiana, 650 miles away from the Gonzalez home.

Bamburg said the note warmed his heart, so he asked Facebook to help find Luna and Gianella's mother.

With help from family and friends, Bamburg was able to ship the girls almost every present on their list.

\"We did not expect it,\" Gonzalez said Tuesday on \"GMA.\" \"It was a big surprise to us.\"

Bamburg and his wife also drove for hours to surprise Luna and Gianella with a puppy named Max.

\"If you can make one person smile -- trust me not only will it help them, it will make you feel so much better,\" Bamburg said.
