As told by Robby’s mom, Carrie;
Our family went to a Thunderbird High School Football game where the band was holding a 50/50 raffle. To our surprise, we won! We won $122.00!!! Our youngest son Robbie asked what we should do with the money. I explained that “God gave us a gift, when He gives a gift (something you don’t work for) you give it to somebody who can use it to do something good”. Robbie thought for a moment and decided that he wanted to give the money to his friend Trey. I was thinking Robby’s first response would be to give back to their church and was pleasantly surprised that we remember what Trey was going through and wanted to help him.
Robby’s sweet, kind, and generous ways continued…
February 2009
For Robby’s Birthday with his friends, he asked if we could ask his friends to give donations to Trey instead of gifts for him (he already get’s a zillion from family alone). Full of pride, each of Robby’s invitations accompanied a piece of paper explaining that a dear friend of mine has a son with a genetic disorder that requires medical assistance and that Robbie would like for you to give donations in lieu of gifts for his 8th birthday.
*Robbie has known Trey all his life. Cami and I were pregnant together with Robbie and Broc

POPCORN AND LEMONADE FUNDRAISER
As told by Noah and Megan Bulson:
Mommy told us about Trey and we worked together as a family to decide how we could help and raise money. We recruited our friends the Renwick's and decided on a lemonade and popcorn stand. We started telling everyone we could in the neighborhood a few days before. We worked together to make the poster and lemonade. After school, we sat at our neighborhood park and handed out popcorn and lemonade to anyone who donated money. We had a flier out about Trey and told everyone about him. We were amazed how many neighbors donated... kids were emptying out their piggy banks and Mommy’s were giving money too! All in all we raised $93 which our parents matched for a total of $200! We had fun with our neighbors and we were able to help Trey.
