It’s been a busy week here. Since the last video we got surprised by amazing people in Texas sharing Aaron’s wish with us, then we were in New York to appear on The Today Show, which was an incredible experience. This morning we reached a milestone as we now have received over $60,000 in donations — enough to give 120 tips. It’s been an incredible week, and now we are happy to share the newest video with you.
This one is from our previous trip to New York, and while it was a bit dark (sorry about that), it was a great and emotional experience. Kendrie at the Lime Jungle in Manhattan was completely overwhelmed.
Or, you can mail checks or cash to the following address:

Simply awesome! I look forward to seeing these videos each week. It’s nice to see something so positive in light of the terrible news we are exposed to each day.
What an amazing thing your family is doing. I have always wanted to do something like this and I think it is a beautiful thing that Aaron wanted this. I just donated to the cause and I hope your family can continue to carry out Aaron’s wishes. God bless all of you.
I read about Aaron’s story on a news website a few weeks ago and then saw the story again on the Today show. Today I was greeted by the sweetest woman named Vicki at a drive through Steak n Shake in Orange Park, Florida. As I was driving away her happy attitude made me think of Aaron’s wish so I went back through the drive through, told her Aaron’s story, and gave her $200 – that was all I had on me. She refused at first and then started crying – tears of joy. Your family is a blessing to so many. Aaron is being honored in the very best way.

I wish we could “Like” these comments.:) It’s harder to actually say something. Thanks, Rachel!

Thank you, Elizabeth! You cannot know how much you blessed me by doing this and letting us know!
