Wow! That really is so amazing. I wish I had been that compassionate and thoughtful when I was their age(s).
Debi, I am all choked up. what a couple of incredible girls you have there. I really find it inspiring to find people at such a young age to already be developing such a social concious. I' sure that must be so gratifying to them to realize that they are actually saving lives.
I'm so thrilled that another sweet spirit will be joining your family. I can't think of a better family to come to.

Way to go girls. What amazing girls you have, who care so much for the world around them.
This is so cool. We stopped at a lemonade stand in Missoula while we were driving around. The little boys had huge smiles on their faces just like your girls. So fun.
Wow, Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
