Steven S

My hero is my husband Steven. He believes dedication is an important value to live by. He is the perfect example of dedication. He has always put aside his dreams and ambitions aside to help others. He has survived an aneurism. He says with dedication and faith nothing will get in the way of you finding your dream.

That little girl exemplifies that way we are bringing up our own little boy! Way to go, moms and dads!

Michelle T. from USA JANUARY 28, 2008
Children are pure of heart. I commend the father for allowing her to give. Too often adults feel the need to teach children to look after and only be concerned with themselves. Rightfully that day, the little girl was allowed to be our teacher.

Miguel M. from Tucson, Arizona USA JANUARY 16, 2008
Wow so many people could use a lesson from that little girl about the season of giving. It is inspiring to hear!

What a child. She has a very broad mind. She will surely grow up into an awesome individual. My eyes are filled with tears. I hope that everyone would have a mind like this small child.

We adults could learn so much from kids...

What a beautiful thing that child did. I wish we would all take a page from her book. Happiness is best in what you can give to others.

That's so sweet of her. You wouldn't expect that from most children. This was inspiring!
