Thank you for the many powerful and moving stories you sent to me. This was truly a very hard and stressful decision. So difficult that I couldn't just choose one person/family to give this gift to, so I've selected two nominees. Even narrowing it down to two families was painful since every nominee had such inspiring, powerful and courageous stories. I hope to donate to some of the others at a later date. I'm currently in communications with the selected families and want to ensure I get their permission before sharing their names and stories on my blog. But as promised, I wanted to make a post about it this evening. Thank you again for taking the time to participate in this important project.

Merry Christmas! God Bless.
