Meet Charlie

This is my friend CHARLIE...

You will never EVER meet anyone like this kid.  He is special.  Why is it that he is special?  Hmmm, where do I begin? 

He is special because of his killer personality, his charm (hence the name Charmander) and his over all good looks...

Only this boy could melt my heart the way he does.  Esp. when for absolutely no reason at all he looks over at me and says " I love you". 

Only this boy could bring a whole community together.

And only this boy could walk into a room and just make every one smile. 

I can say that my life has became whole meeting this kid. He has shown my kids and I that life doesnt revolve around us and that giving is more important then receiving and that helping others is more important . Charlie is a true Super Hero...

This is Trisha, she is Charlies mom... This woman should get Mother of the year award EVERY year.  If you ever think your job is tough, follow her around for an hour.  She is the kindest, sweetest woman that I have ever met. She has been a great friend to me. Calling me when my kids are sick or when I am sad. Really? I should be calling her every day to see how she is doing yet she finds time in her busy day to see how my girls are doing.  Wow...Who does that?  This woman does.  She spends day in and day out taking care of Charlie.  She doesnt even think twice about it she just does it and she does it with a smile on her face. 

So, my whole reason for introducing you all to these people is to show you in real life what your kindness and generosity can do and who it could help. 

Its so easy to drop money in a donation box, or something like that but how often do you get to see the face of the life you have helped to save.  So what I ask all of you is this, when you are out spending hundreds of dollars on Christmas gifts, for kids that do not need any more toys think about giving to a child in need. 

Charlie is just an example of a little boy in need who managed to bring a whole community together last year around this time.  There are so many kids in this area in need of just a toy, or just a bite to eat. Think about it... 

Just sayin....

What will you be doing to help this holiday season?
