8:53 am – Ryan & Austin helping to place hundreds and hundreds of donuts on trays
In mom’s memory, we raised over $2,015 to sponsor two things at mom’s favorite charity, the Los Angeles Mission : we "adopted a meal ", and we also sponsored a "seat of compassion " in mom’s name.
The seat of compassion is a seat in the LA Mission’s Holsinger Chapel named in memory of mom. The meal we adopted was lunch today. In addition to raising the money to fund the meal, we also had the opportunity to come down and help prepare and serve Aunt Sheila’s Meal.
10 of us: Gwendy, Lisa, Ryan, Austin, Fritzie, Jimmy, Kirra, Danny, Ruven, and I came down to the Mission today and prepared and served Aunt Sheila’s Lunch.
