Jeff / all directly involved,

There is something ahead worth looking for.”

THANK YOU... for doing this. Your first hand experience I am sure tells you how much this means to the kids and parents. For the kids it can be like something good and kind has been “branded” into their brains for the rest of their lives. The material gift given is huge at the time, but the gesture of someone caring will resurface time and again throughout their lives. The world needs more caring and understanding (like what you are doing) instead of greed and self righteousness.
peace,
ron
