Hello Class of 87!

I just wanted to say thank you all that donated and bought gifts to help Ben David’s boys. I just wanted to give an update. Ryan can get college scholarship discount for the laptop he needs for school, and will be able to purchase it with the funds donated by all of you, and some other funds the school is going to help with, so your giving has made an impact on this young man’s life. If you want to give and haven’t yet, I will leave the wishlist open until Wednesday at 5pm before closing.

Reed and Ryan are now both living with their guardian, and are adjusting well. This is a difficult time of the season, as they helped Ben decorate all the business clients he had during the Christmas season. Their guardian Kim (male) and I talk often, and he is so appreciative of the help we have given them. When he got the first gift delivery of the coats, he was so thankful and sent a message immediately passing on the thanks, which I passed on to the donor. Thank you all for everything you have done. God bless all of you this Christmas season and always.

I updated the wishlist:

Hello Class of ‘87 and friends-

Below is the list that Ben David’s sons have provided. I appreciate each of you who are willing to help. The gifts on the list can be bought outright and the shipping address goes to their guardian’s home. I also put a gift card fund, in case you do not want to purchase a gift, but just donate money towards getting some gifts for them. Ryan is a freshman in college, so all he wanted on his list was items for school. Reed is a sophomore in high school, so he had a few more items on his wish list. The boys are trying to adapt as best they can to their new normal, but this season is hard, because Ben David lived & breathed the Christmas season. Thank you all for showing love to his boys during this time. God bless you all.

Good afternoon Class of ‘87. As many of you know, Ben David passed away last Sunday, and he leaves behind 2 sons. The executor of Ben’s estate shared with Mary Ayers, that Ben’s youngest son stated “well I guess we won’t have a Christmas this year,” and we were wondering if any of our classmates would like to adopt Ryan & Reed McCoy for Christmas this year? The executor will be providing Mary with lists of wants and needs this week and we can post more details as we get them.
This would be a great opportunity for our class to help his sons and honor his memory at the same time. Reply here if you would be willing to help, so we can get a headcount.
