<div>"It’s hard to wrap my heart around the math of a lifetime: it has been 16 years since Donna passed, and yet it feels like only yesterday that we had our first date when I was just 16. I was blessed with 37 years alongside my soulmate, and now we have been apart for nearly as long. Life certainly takes turns none of us can foresee.

<div>In honor of that love and the life we shared, I’m coming to you again 'with hat in hand,' as my father used to say.
</div>

</div>
<div>For the past year, we’ve gathered every second Friday to pack 40 lunches for homeless teens in downtown Springfield. While weekday meals are available, weekends are a struggle; these sacks provide a Saturday lunch and a Sunday breakfast for kids who would otherwise go without. Beyond that, we recently awarded two book scholarships to impressive young women from Wesley Youth to help them pursue their education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As always, I personally cover 100% of the overhead. Every single penny you donate goes directly to these young people as they work to better their lives. Thank you for helping me turn a personal journey into a lifeline for others."
