I’m just the facilitator. Y’all did amazing work last year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re the finest community on the Internet.
What OneMan said x2. And thank you for making this a safe place for information, ideas, commentary, and community–a community that can help foster kids have a happier holiday.

When I think of kids in this deprived situation, I realize how lucky I have been.
Rich, you are more than “just the facilitator”. Every year, there are more charities asking for and needing help than I can give to. And one of the reasons I choose to give to LSSI is because someone I respect vouches for them. That’s you.

With everything going on in the world, I think we all needed this today. Thanks Rich

You’re a good egg, Miller.
