I wanted to mention to you all what an amazing experience it has been for Dad & I to get involved with the Utah Refugee Center. We've been able to help them through the family foundation by providing money to hire additional employees to reduce the case-load that each employee has. Additionally, I've been "assigned" a family to help that is from Somalia with 9 children, two of which have special needs. Their mother is tied to the home with caring for them, and the husband works and at the D.I. They speak very little English. Recently the mother asked for a few bikes for her kids, and we've been able to secure 4 bikes through Debbie Reid's "Bikes for Kids Foundation". It's so amazing to see the good that we can do for others in such desperate need. Thanks, Dad for setting up the foundation, and for letting me be a part of this experience!
