Dave sent me another email today and I want to share it with you. To see Bella's story go to my post from January 19, 2010.
"I met Bella today. What a beautiful girl! I have pictures with her and the other 15 kids who are going to Sonrise.
I spent 90 minutes at Sonrise. I thought of you. They are so appreciative of what you are doing for Bella.
-do"
I am raising money to send Bella to a good school so she can fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor (tuition includes: her education, supplies, room & board, and clothes). My hope for her is that she does become a doctor and then 'pays it forward' to another child in need when she can afford it.
