A few weeks ago we sent out letters asking for help with the remaining fees of the adoption. Today we got our first check back. It was from Bill Beith, a man the Stolpes had known in New Jersey. David and his older brother refered to Bill and his wife Janet as Grandpa and Grandma Beith. The letter from Bill was so sweet. He said he wished he could help us more, but his wife is in a nursing home with alzheimers disease and it is costing him more a month than he recieves.
It was so amazing to me that he sent us a check. I felt so bad and wanted to send it back. David reminded me that he did not have to send anything, it was his choice. It is incredible to me that those with the least seem to give the most. It has been that way all along, those that we know with the least have given the most, whether monitarily or with donations and actions.
We are so thankful to everyone for their help. So many have helped, it is so humbling how so many people care. Thank you to everyone!
