My son, Isaac, shows me his goodness every day by visiting our elderly neighbor, Miss Dora, whenever we go for a walk he asks me if we can visit Miss Dora. He gives her a hug as soon as he sees her. He has no idea how much these acts of goodness mean to Miss Dora.

Miss Dora is a widow and most of her family lives out of state. Isaac's visits have bought her a lot of joy. Because of my son, our family has developed a close friendship with Miss Dora, his goodness has become contagious!

Over the course of 2 events in 2 years, with the help their classmates, they created 60 Birthday Baskets and delivered them to the Lord's Pantry non-profit.
