from
Hamburg, NY "I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter and I would hope that if she were ever in need of assistance that someone would come to her aid. I live Hamburg and read everyday through the Buffalo News how inner city students struggle. I can not do much but hopefully by my doing a little will inspire others to donate as well to reach this goal. Good luck"
