Finding the perfect gifts for our family members and loved ones is often a challenge. Will they love it? Will it fit? Is it exactly what they wanted? As I ponder these questions and continue my search for the elusive LEGO set my boys’ asked for this year I am often reminded how lucky I am that these are the questions I am grappling with this holiday season.

It was not until we had a major flood in the area that I understood the network of support available.<\/p>\n
