We are still writing down all of the acts of kindness
– there are so many! We know we don’t have all of them listed, but will
continue to add them.

Janet’s Fund performed a random act of kindness for

boy received a Yankees package with various Yankee items such as a
jersey, t-shirt, baseball cards, beach towel, yo-yo, Yankee Yearbook
and other great stuff.

Linda Helgeson for always thinking about Janet’s
family and showing she’s thinking of them by dropping off flowers

in Somerville, NJ performed all of the work setting up Janet’s fund

carry bag, along with training costs for four people. Thank you so
much! Please use them for all of your accounting needs. We are very
greatful for your kindness.
