That is awesome!!! Thanks Stephen and Tabitha! :-) Now if only other celebrities that waste millions on a wedding and throw away money like it means nothing would do the same....this would be a much better world!
Kudos to Mr & Mrs King's foundation for matching the community's support for this. I have heard so many stories of their community involvement...
My mother grew up not far from Bangor and I know she would appreciate this project.
Maine's climate is not gentle, so not having a reliable source of warmth is not a viable option to help maintain wellness for many families.
More communities need to rally within themselves and their neighboring communities.
I think its wonderful and I am proud of the people of Bangor,Maine for pulling together and of Mr. and Mrs. Kings efforts to help and encourage the folks to come together as an example that all the residents of the United States should embrace. We as a nation, as a people, should help each other as best we can, whenever we can and expect nothing in return except the good feeling that comes with giving from the heart.
Wow, that's really great to hear that someone's helping those people. That's an issue I feel a lot of people wouldn't address.
Good people those two are.
