Your donation will go towards Dorothy and Bobs chlidren Bobby age 19 & Diana age 15.
Update;
Initially my thoughts were: Why donate to some cause where most of the dollars don't ever seem to go to the actual cause? If anything I thought maybe we would raise a couple hundred and the kids would have a better Christmas.
Apparently I was mistaken.
I never expected such generosity, we're humbled to be surrounded by so many caring people.
After speaking with Bobby & Diana they decided to use the funds for higher education, Bobby wants to persue Drafting & Design while Diana has yet to decide on a major.
I never thought homeschooling our children would make such an impact on who my children would grow up to be but Dorothy was dertermined and educated our kids until they reached 12yrs of age.
It's made a difference and even though this is a difficult time for them I know they'll be ok as they rely on what Dorothy and I have instilled upon them at an early age.
Thank you for your generosity,
Sincerely,
Bob Leach
