As some of you know, my daughter, Amelia, writes about our family's journey towards gracious giving (for a mere quarter, of course!). Here's what she had to say about the project we completed for Make A Child Smile.

I found Make A Child Smile through this really cool website packed with loads of resources called Doing Good Together.
Thanks again Amy!!!
Your daughter is adorable and I loved the butterfly card!
But the "Emalee is spelled differnt it is susposed to be spelled like this, Emily." was just TOO FUNNY!!!!!!

What a sweet heartfelt letter! I love the gracious giving idea:) We've been working on that around here as well. Will definitely check out Make a Child Smile! Thanks for the inspiration!
it's good to hear a child wanting to reach out to others, being children or not. rose
