Nice.

(Can't believe the other charity wouldn't even return calls/messages... Ah, well, looks like the money ended up in GREAT hands anyway...)

wow . . .

Reading his story, I'm humbled. I can't think of a better way to make use of the excess funds.

Thanks for bringing this charity to my attention.
