What a great day for Team Effect today! Since Amber already posted about all the things we have to do for round 2, I'll just give a quick update as to what we have done so far.
This lovely Saturday started off bright at early with an early morning trip to La Causa to start the murals. Tanya was so sweet when we got there this morning and had doughnuts ready for us! Coach Hermann began some awesome art work and will continue throughout this week until he is finished. Thanks for all your help, Coach!
Hannah contacted our "wish child's" mom already on Thursday night when we got back from the kick-off. Beth is probably one of the funniest and sweetest mom's I have ever had the pleasure of meeting :) Most of the members of Team Effect (plus a girlfriend) actually surprised Michael at his championship basketball game this afternoon! They didn't pull out with a win, but Michael played great and fought hard. We gave him some Buck's tickets and we hope that helped him feel better after a tough loss.
After Michael's basketball game, Michael and his amazing family came to WLC and watched the men's basketball team play their last game of the season. They were able to sit court-side with us and Coach Noon gave him a jersey and had all the basketball players sign it. It was so much fun!
Before heading over to a little pizza party in the Underground with us, James, Michael, and Richard (Mike's brother) played a game of "HORSE" and shot around for a little bit. They were having such a great time. We then had a little dinner with pizza and soda to get to know the family a little bit more and see what we could do to help.
Michael and his family are absolutely amazing people. We had a great day with them and know that it will continue throughout these next 9 days and after as well. They are humble and kind and so easy to talk to and relate to. Team Effect cannot wait to continue to work with Michael and his family.
Derrick also did our first random act of kindness today! While he and Liz (his amazing girlfriend) were over by Mayfair Mall, they noticed a car stalled in a left turn lane. They bought him some gas, but the car still wouldn't start, so they drove him to where he needed to be. Great work, Derrick!
That's all I have for now. Keep checking back for more updates!
