I'm so proud of my mom!

I have to brag on my mom a little bit! She's done so many nice things for the community. She loves to help people and she tries to make a difference in small ways. This fall she donated school supplies to local schools to help kids who don't have enough money to buy them themselves. She and daddy organized a neighborhood food drive to donate to the Salvation Army in time for Thanksgiving and then they donated a gift for a family from church who don't have money for Christmas. Now she just purchased toys for the kindergarten and first grade classes at one of Oshkosh's most needy schools. Mommy's company, Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Group, 'adopted' a family who needed basic things for their family like jackets, cleaning supplies and clothes. That family will have a great Christmas this year thanks to mommy and everyone else at Coldwell Banker The Real Estate Group who helped them out.

My mom and dad are really grateful for all they have and want to give back to others. My mom has taught me that it's good to give during the holidays but it's also good to help others all year round.

Okay, I'm done bragging now. Maybe my mom will give me an extra treat for writing this!
