Yesterday I met this unbelievably sweet boy James who lost his mother last year and was able to give him a very unexpected gift! He got a new PS4 and a $50 Games stop card! Along with that dinner at his favorite restaurant Applebee's! James was so shy and unsure on what to do for his "day away". His father told me he loved video games and currently had a PS2. Once we knew that info we were positively sure on what to do for sweet James. A BIG thanks the Applebee's for sponsoring James' dinner!

We received a thank card from Ethan and Elliott's mother and it truely touched our heart hearing how wonderful their experience in Pagosa was!
The card reads:
"I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you for arranging the boys day out in Pagosa. They have wonderful memories of visiting the Springs with their Dad and were able to share those memories on our visit. The whole experience was refreshing and positive. Thank you again!"

February 7th Ethan and Elliot (who lost their father to mental illness/suicide) will be going to a special place where they used to spend time with their father, Pagosa Hot Springs. The Springs Resort generously donated a room and passes for the boys! Alley House their favorite restaurant will be sponsoring their dinner! Ethan is an avid reader so we gave him and his brother $25 gift cards to Maria's Bookstore. While little Elliot loves everything dog related we have him doggy Pjs for his trip and a pet and play stuffed doggy companion!

This Saturday we will be giving 6 year old Eilandrith (who lost his mother and older brother in a house fire last month) his very special day away! We bought him tickets so he will be going to the movies, and enjoying many jumps at the Big Bounce who donated a YEARS PASS! Then he will finish his day at Texas Road House who will cover not only his meal but also three other people to go with him! As always because of the generous donations we get we are able to do something extra and Eilandrith loves TMNT! So he should be excited to get these toys!

Had a super presentation explaining the "who, what, when, where, and whys" about Kids In Mourning with our ever friendly and kind Human Resources Department for La Plata County. Also, found my doppelganger on the front of a magazine cove while waiting in the lobby! ;-) And of course a big thank you once again to Kristen Miears for taking awesome pictures!
