CHICAGO (CBS) -- A community is coming together Wednesday to help a little boy who lost his mother and grandfather two weeks ago.

Back on Dec. 7, police found the bodies of 27-year-old Javonni Jenkins and her 79-year-old father in their family apartment near 81st and Drexel.

Jenkins' son, 2-year-old CJ, was in the apartment but was not hurt.

Around 1:30 p.m., CJ's family and business leaders in Chatham are coming together so he can meet Santa Claus.

After the two have a one-on-one meet-and-greet, the group will help give out food and presents to other families in need as well.
