    TESTIMONIALS

    I can’t stop looking at his grinning face in the photo we took last night right after he found out. I am somewhat in shock as we all knew this was a long shot, even if he is an amazing student and human being. Thanks for all of your help and support. We know it made a huge impact on the entire process.
