do you guys remember me asking about the organization The Goodfellows? Well I found the website about a week before Thanksgiving and I wrote a letter to them. I gave them the kids names and ages and a small list of what the kids wanted for Christmas! Well I hadnt heard anything from them and was beginning to get discouraged until about 20 minutes ago! I noticed that I had a missed call on my cell phone. i didnt recognize the number. So I listened to my voice mail and it was them calling me back!
I called them back and talked to the guy that had called me. He seemed really nice and sounded pretty happy to hear from me. He also told me that his own mother had had cervical cancer. He wants to meet with the family next week. It does not gaurantee that they will receive the presents or the dinner but I am hoping that they have a good chance. They sure can use the help! He asked me if I wanted him to tell them who nominated them and I told him no, I would like for it to be a secret, but that I wanted him to tell them that there were some people thinking of them in their time of hardship! He promised he would!
He said he will verify my story with theirs and if it all checks out, they would more than likely help them out!
I am soooo excited I almost started crying!!!!!!
