Kevin and Eric are the sixteen year old twin son’s of one of my partner's work colleagues. These young men lost two of their siblings (7 and 8 years old) in a tragic apartment fire on December 4, 2008. This year, on that very day, they woke to find reporters at their door asking for their reaction on the 1 year anniversary of their loss.

In an effort to have this time of year be remembered for something positive, Kevin and Eric have decided to become philanthropists and sponsor a family in need for the holidays. They are working with a single mother who suffers from epilepsy and is on disability. She has 2 sons, ages 2 and 14. They are putting gifts together from their wish lists and making the family a Christmas Dinner basket.

Their selflessness is truly inspirational and is a testament, not only to their character and spirit, but to their loving parents' as well. We are so proud to know this family!

If you would like to help these boys with this very worthy endeavor, please feel free to contact me and I will put you in touch with their mother, who is assisting them.

Remember during this season, when we tend to forget most, just how fortunate we are and consider giving, if not to this, to a local charity of your choice. If money is an issue, consider donating some time.

Thanks.
