Some of you will recognize the contents of this post, but for those who are new to Random Acts of Kindness Because of Heller, it is worth sharing once more!
The Game:
It was a silly game, yet important enough to encourage the purchase of a king-sized mattress to fit our growing family of four (almost five). Each night, we would lie together on the mattress, telling jokes and stories of our day.
“Bread!” I would yell from my outside position on the mattress, throwing my arm into the air.
“Bread!” My husband would return from his far side.
“Peanut Butter!” Jenny would cry.
“Jelly!” came Heller’s giggling voice.
Then, we would crush together into the tightest family sandwich possible.
It was a silly game. And, it was everything.

Because of Heller
ECHO is an organization that was special to Heller. For this reason, each year we do our best to offer what we can to ECHO to fill some of the organization's needs. We call it our PB&J Drive. Please let us know if you would like to collect and donate goods, but are not able to deliver them. We will be happy to carry your kindness for you during the week of December 22nd.
