Your story about Brandon Brauns has touched my family. My 8-year-old son was upset last night with what seem to be issues in his healthy, happy life. After I told him the story of Brandon, his struggle with cancer and his giving campaign to collect toys for the children who are too sick to leave the hospital on Christmas, my son quickly put his own “issues” into perspective. My son, Gavin, was very upset to hear that Brandon is so sick and wrote a letter to let him know we are praying for him to get better.

Thank you for finding such an amazing child and sharing his huge heart with the world. His thoughtfulness is truly inspiring and we pray he got his Christmas wish!
