Thank you for the kind words.
We are so blessed to be able to contribute and facilitate this gift.

Wonderful. It's great to be in a position to give and want to give.

So here is our recap…
Thursday afternoon we went back to Shiva’s to pick up some bling and share some charitable information. A quick backstory… We have become close friends with a room attendant at the Ritz who volunteers for the children and the schools. We brought down an extra large suitcase full of crayons, markers, stickers, coloring books, and notepads for the kids. Upon picking up our ring, I told this story to the owners of Shiva’s that we have known for 30 years and they volunteered to contribute also! I then learned that they had contributed 1000 backpacks full of supplies for the kids at the beginning of the school year and they were willing to do more on behalf of our friend! We passed this information onto our friend at the Ritz and she was overwhelmed! At this point, our vacation recap seems frivolous so I will post another recap of the last two days.

What a great story of genuine kindness. Very nice.

What a wonderful thing to do. I love when you know exactly where your donations are going. We enjoyed your trip reports too!

All good.... with all the excitement it's perfectly understandable!
