I'll just repeat here what I posted back on u-lo-g.com:
While hospitalized in Ft. Worth, Liam recognized that he had many things to be thankful for. His first idea was to send bananas for the kids who needed food. His dad cautioned that might pose some transport problems. In looking for a way to help he learned that many kids don't even have clean water. At his request, friends donated to The Water Project and water wells have already been dug to provide water for kids (and adults) in Western Kenya. To continue this effort Liam opened a new project called Liam's Friends and the total is now 4 wells (5/17/2012).

Thank you Paul. We've certainly enjoyed the letters from Mr. Dragon. I know that Matt has valued your friendship and support.
Hope you get to see this as I've basically moved over to Good4Abilene.com instead. But I had a post that I thought would fit better here. Actually I may never post it, but when I came here to work on it I found your comment. Thanks again for the comment and support you've given our family.
