I want to thank all of you for your support of my volunteer activities over the past few years. Without the donations of time and finances from my friends, family and those I have connected with online, I would not have been able to reach out to so many. I am especially thankful for the girls who have stuck with Ray’s Hope for years now (Paige, Lauren, Sydney and Riley), who come to every meeting with smiles and kind hearts.

I want to encourage anyone who wants to get involved in community service to reach out to just one organization in your area. No amount of effort is wasted in the attempt to help others. Volunteering will enhance your life more than you could ever imagine. I set out to help others, but in doing so, I have been the one who has benefitted the most.
