Proud

Our local MS chapter provides a quarterly newsletter,and it is a wonderful resource for me.  The Spring newsletter came out today, and my son is in it!

For his Bar-Mitzvah this past November, he asked guests to bring items for the "Holiday Bag" program.  This is our 3rd year helping with this.  It is a wonderful program during the holidays, that volunteers bring bags of all sorts of goodies to people with MS who are either homebound or in nursing-assisted living situations.

I have actually made a wonderful friend through this program.

My son collected over 750 items for the program.  When we delivered it to the society they took his picture with the items, and asked if they could put it him in their upcoming newsletter.

They wrote up a little article about him and it is really special.

Our local chapter has been working on getting a grant to help provide more items for the bags.

Just sharing...

I am so proud of him and you as his guiding force behind the compassionate, caring young man he is going up to be. What a wonderful idea for his Bar-mitzvah!

You should be very proud and I am happy that they recognized his efforts and perhaps his idea will be the springboard for more generous giving!

You have good reason to be proud of him. I saw the picture with everything he collected and it was quite impressive.  He is quite a young man.
