A few months ago, I was thinking about how blessed I was to be a photographer. I love what I do. I love that I can create something that other people will love too, and cherish. As I was thinking about all this, I wondered what I could do to give back. I wanted to share my talent with people who deserved something nice at a difficult time in their lives. As I thought about it more, I decided I would contact the local Ronald McDonald House to see what I could do for them. I got in touch with Kelly Hamilton, who is in charge of volunteer services. It was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I have already made some great new friends and met so many incredible strong people. Tonight I went over to meet the families staying at the house and introduced myself. WOW. These families are amazing. I would strongly encourage everyone I know to volunteer or help this wonderful charity organization. They do some incredible stuff for some very deserving people. If you would like to volunteer by making dinner for the families who are staying at the house or would like to inquire about other ways to help, please contact Kelly Hamilton. Her number is 859-368-8437. I promise there is nothing better for the soul than helping others.
While there, I also got to take pictures of little T, the Executive Director’s little boy. Man was he CUTE. ALL BOY, I tell you. Down to little scrapes and bruises on his elbows and knees. And he was so smart too! I couldn’t get over his cuteness.
And while you’re at it, check out this very touching slideshow put together by a very talented and very nice local photographer Shaun Ring who photographed the Ronald McDonald House 25th Anniversary Party.
