My son’s girlfriend is into photography and she is always looking for things to do to give back and help others out. I had no idea this was something people were doing for cancer patients. I am going to let her know. She can get in touch and see if she can help out in our area. Really wonderful site.
Rick, thank you so much for reaching out and helping spread the word! We are all in this together and every kindness matters.
