There are still some really great people out there...

My father is in the Lions Club and every year they try and raise money to send 2 kids to Diabetes Camp for the summer.

Well 2 of the members were selling chances outside Dunkin Donuts and the weekend was almost over and they didn't even have enough to send 1 child. No one was donating.

All of a sudden this man came up and gave them a $400 donation. He went in got coffee then came out and asked how much it cost to send a child to camp. They told him $2500.

Well, 2 days later they recvd a check for $2500Chat Icon

I am so excited for these 2 kids. What a great man to do this. He also wanted to remain anonymous.

I just thought I would share this great storyChat Icon
