    I've written before about my Grandson and his efforts to help homeless children. He is on the front cover of the Orlando Sentinel today

    http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/orl-asecstepbystep01040109apr01,0,5295957.story

    His website is www.helpingstepbystep.com

    Yep... I am soooooooo proud of him! There is no other 14 year old like him.

    What a great kid! You have a right to be proud! Is his mother your daughter and was she raised a JW?

    His mother is my daughter. She was raised a jw, but left along with me...she was in her mid teens.

    Coffee... he is nothing short of astounding. I just don't know what to say, other than... congratulations and love to all of you.

    edited to say (oh, I guess I DID have something else to say!)

    Coffee, your drawing on the website looks great there! Perfect for this theme.

    And also... just a suggestion for the website... if someone could just click a button to donate, that would bring in a LOT more funding, I should think! Could you suggest they put a PayPal donation button on the "how you can help" page? I seriously think that would help.

    Love,
    Baba.

    Wow. Wow. What vision.

    Can you imagine if he was a dub kid and was being encouraged not to go to college?

    Quandry, can you imagine if he was a Dub kid and was told not to do the walk because his time would be better spent out in Field Service, since Jehovah is going to solve all of the world's problems soon?

    If nothing else, this boy is a walking, talking example of how JW children's potential is crushed. Just imagine if his mother and grandmother hadn't left the Borg. This incredible boy would probably be an auxiliary pioneer rather than really doing something that will change the world for the better.
