If you feel so inclined, please consider donating to wither of these charities that helped out our family and so, so many more:The Ronald McDonald House - Hines, Illinois:Loyola University Medical Center - Ronald McDonald House Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana: ronaldmcdonaldhousechicago.orgThese great folks allowed my family to have a place of residence nearby, whenever Jake was in the hospital on a long term scale. We stayed there many times. They have amazing locations in Brookfield (our most frequented space), as well as in Minneapolis, near the University of Minnesota medical campus. We didn’t have to pay a dime to stay there, and it saved us, truly. Doctors Without Borders: give.doctorswithoutborders.orgAdding even more to the difficult energy of doing medical work on complete strangers, the doctors in this group take their work international, extending care to those who may never be able to access it otherwise. Their work is critical to human well being and advancement, at home and abroad.  All the best,Matt"Check out Matt's YouTube Channel and live-streams here:  @Matt_Kellen  ________Click Here For 10% Off Your Total Purchase From Black Box Prompter!https://blackboxprompter.com/?coupon=secondhandtalent________Our featured charity for Season 6 is The Visions Foundation.
