I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday party and gifts! It was
so sweet of all of you to do this for me. The best part was how excited the
children were and how much they enjoyed the day!
We are helping Cullman Caring for Kids with a canned food collection. See
the attached sheet that has items listed that are needed at this time. I
will have a box in the room that the children can place the items in every
morning.
