Thank you to the 40 plus monetary donations that allowed us to purchase everything needed to make this bedroom into a cold
Cording place for Bentley to grow and access.
The most rewarding part of this process and why I’m all in whenever a child or adult is in need is -the recipient saying the words”it’s awesome” or everything I wanted is here.” And finding out later the recipient will only come out of the room because he has to eat at the table!!! This weekend was one of my favorite bedrooms of all times! This crew was so amazing to work with and I am so proud of the talents and imagination we soaked up. Thank you thank you thank you to everyone I met along this journey into the the Minecraft World!!!
