Dear Terry,
My nomination for someone special to me, who deserves a dozen roses, is my grandmother Helen Wallace. A flood victim who participates in the Perth Andover church and school, and has experienced numerous hardships over the past year. She recently had to tear down part of her property on the riverbank, losing the home her parents lived in. She also just traveled nearly 1000 kilometers to attend my university graduation and get home. It is for the above reasons and brief explanations she is a worthy candidate to have a small good deed brought her way.
Sincerely,
James

She went home and asked her parents if they could buy it for Emily. Her mom Chlory said they wished they could, but maybe they could raise the money to buy it. So with the help of her mom Chlory and one of the truck drivers, Jake from Day & Ross sold ...
