Thanks for checking in.

Irene’s amazing sister Jane is spending the weekend with us.

Jane delivered an envelope to Irene with the following label:

“for Kidney Walk
To: Tia Rini
from: Tresemay Briceno.”
Inside the envelope was $79.00 in mixed bills.  Tresemay is 8 years old.  She’s been saving for the last year.  She’s Jane’s grand-daughter.  Jane explained to us that Tresemay asked, “How much does a kidney cost?  Can I get a part time job doing dishes or cleaning houses so we can buy Tia Rini a kidney?”  Jane patiently explained the research purpose behind the the “Kidney Walk”.

We’re humbled and inspired by an 8 year old with a HUGE HEART for giving…and hoping for her “Tia Rini” to get a new kidney.

We’ll convert the cash to a cashier’s check and apply it toward the kidney walk on on June 4, 2011 at the CityView Plaza in San Jose.

Thank you, Tresemay, and may God richly reward the longing of your heart…!!!

Thanks for caring,
Dave
