    Wonderful story. And, yes, his Mom and God hand a large hand in bringing all of this to fruition.

    A wonderful story. I am so glad you did this for him and restored his faith in humanity. I know it wasn't simple but the simple gesture of doing kindness with nothing expected in return has the most reward. Even if you had remained anonymous, it would have meant so much. Wonderful.

    Your generosity of giving so much time on a project this big at such a busy time of year is so inspiring. Your story made me blink several times. Your quilt is beautiful a comfort quilt that will be very loved.
