Thank you to those who called in votes, donated your hard earned money and came together to open your hearts for a greater cause, esp in a time when things are tough for everyone. My husband and I spent many late nights preparing for this open house. We also used what little personal funds we have to advertise, send personal invites, and provide refreshments for this event. It is a passion we share, to give whatever we can to help someone else and to risk our own hardships to give someone else a better life. I also believe you can make a difference in anothers life every day simply by sharing a smile. May you be encouraged to be the difference in someone’s life today.

Blessings-Sherry Schultze
