Making a Difference Testimonials

I am a parent of a child who gets extra reading support from the Title 1 Program at the Chambersburg School District. The district had an information night last evening and gave us a gift of fun learning stuff to help prepare our kids for school that was given by your son’s foundation Many thanks to you for the gift and many blessings as well. You are touching many lives from such a terrible accident. It’s great to know such people as you can make a great positive out of such a terrible negative life change. Your son is an angel that flys all around us. Many thanks and God bless.
