NEW YORK (CONVERSEER) – American-Arab Dearborn Heights businessman Sam Hussein and a local tree farmer team up to cover the cost of a $10,000 Christmas tree, which now stands in front of City Hall.
The men decided to take action after the yearly tradition was almost ruined.
The tree order, which was placed by the previous administration, had delays and was not going to make it in time for a tree lighting ceremony this week.
That is when Huff’s Tree Farm and Hussein teamed up to help.

“I thought it was the right thing to do given the circumstances. They had a tree-lighting ceremony set up for this Friday, and they were really on a time crunch, and this is our way of giving back,” Hussein said.
“I feel a good sense of pride being able to help the community, help our tree farm and kind of bring people together during this special time of year,” Huff said.
