I woke up this morning to find an online donation of $100 (and note) from yet another friend from High School (Green Bay Preble High School) and her Fiancé. We are so grateful that these friends (and others) are responding to the prompting placed on their hearts to give. It's truly amazing. Big "thanks" to the future Mr. and Mrs. Underwood.

I often think about the innocents of childhood and how dependent we have all been on our family to take care of us. Most of us have had nurturing, loving homes and realize it's incredible impact on forming who we are today.... and still others have had very poor, abusive family dynamics and I believe they may know even better what a tender touch, hugs & kisses, encouragement and consistency would have done for them. The world's most innocent, most deserving population is reaching out to us to notice them and realize their basic need to belong to a family and be loved. We can't change the whole of humanity and it's brokeness but we can do something... and that something can mean everything to a child who is waiting.
