I just want to let you know, because a lot of people who listen to the podcast were helpful on this. My friend Jerry back in Illinois,

he let us know that he was dying in the final stages of cancer and had a goal for a lifetime

for giving to cure to heal kids and his goal was $100,000 and I asked him how far away. He's like,

I'm going to finish it like 91 approximately. So I asked you to help complete that goal. And boy, did you. The total, last I saw was $56,992. So you went over almost $50,000, which is amazing. He was amped about that. He said,

I'm crying, tears of joy. And I got a note from his wife on his account that he had passed

away. She said, I just wanted to let you know, Jerry went to be with his Lord last night. He went

very peacefully in no pain. We were singing singing what a day that will be to him and as we finished the song

he took his last breath I wanted to personally thank you for what you did for him

for cure he cried many happy tears over that and was so excited I'm reading this

I'm like thinking you okay so as you're listening he cried many happy tears over that and was so excited for how many more children will be helped and hoping that a lot of the first time donors will continue to give.

Again, thank you.

So I wanted to pass that along.

Perfect timing.

Yeah.

Perfect timing.

And what I love, too, is some of the stuff I was posting on Facebook, I just, you know,

letting people know what's going on.

His kids, his adult kids would jump in.

They'd go, my dad is amazing.

Oh, wow.
