My Students

Five years ago I lost my son Blake in a car accident. I decided to follow a passion in my heart and become a teacher. I have taught my students so many things about wood working, but the most important thing we learn together is helping others in need. We build and donate infant caskets to families.

My students are willing to step up to the challenge.

It takes a special group of students to allow a teacher to challenge them with helping a family in time of need. It takes an amazing group of students to step up and build infant caskets to be donated to local hospitals. My students leave me speechless or simply a powerful smile. I did lose my son Blake in a car accident but I have been able to adopt hundreds to help ease his loss. My students are very willing to listen as I tell them about loss and how it has affected my life and how I in turn can help others through something so tragic.

My Project

Inspiration is only a word as one of my kids said one day. "It is your actions that make me want to be a better person." Those words literally left me standing speechless and in tears. You see, these kids saved my life. I stumbled into that classroom at 44 years of age and had never been a teacher. Just two years prior, my son was killed two days before Christmas and I was lost and hopeless. I knew that I needed to reach way back and find something to be passionate about to regain my identity. The kids at my school did just that. They opened their hearts to me and my past, help guide me through my paralyzing forest and back to some form of a civil existence. Inspiration comes in action and action makes a difference, the kids at my school are willing to take action and make a difference. That is why I know these items will be used in a very productive way.

I think it is very simple.

A stack of boards can be a rocking horse or a casket, it depends on how it is cut. Life is very similar and by the tick of a single second on a clock, life can be something different. We would love to build a thousand rocking horses but instead decided to build infant caskets to give a family that is desperate for hope a little glimmer of light.
