My sone take cares of the kids when ever he can, and oh thank God he is the most wonderful father. The girls can’t wait to stay with him.
Help me get this printer for him, I’m sure his girls could use it for their homework also.

He is also a kind hearted person when it comes to animals (all God’s creatures – even bugs that he would rather carry out of a place than step on).

What a great contest! I’m nominating my mom. She is not very computer savvy, and is in great need of a photo printer that is easy to use. She is an incredible person who spends the majority of her time devoted to caring for others. She is so selfless – I would love to see her win something that would be so special and useful to her. Scrapbooking is one of her few hobbies – and having a printer that she could use to print her photos easily from home would be a great encouragement to her in taking more time for herself.

I nominate my niece Victoria Hawes. She’s getting into photoshop this year both personally and in school. She would use the printer for her school projects, and it would help her pursue her passions art and photography. She’s the nicest person I know!

Tori was a good friend to everyone on our team and others. Tori is the personification of what every teenager should be!

She is kind and generous and likes to surprise me with her acts of kindness like a box of books that she knows I can’t afford! Not only is it an amazing feeling to get a sweet unexpected gift in the mail but it reminds me that I am remembered. I wish I could return the gift, so I would love nothing more than for her to receive a gift and know I thought of her random act of kindness and appreciated it and maybe can make her day too.
