Reader’s Letters

“If I write so much, my words may let me down. The book Dreams for Kids is now a treasure, shared with everyone, and those who have been so inspired that the next thing they do is to get up and start making a difference! It’s true. We need to remind ourselves everyday that we have something to give. Your wise and inspirational words have guided me through the dark times. Dreams for Kids is a dream come true on its own.”

“I am still so touched by your book, Dreams for Kids, and watching as others become touched. My mom called yesterday to say she can’t put the book down. Your story has changed my life—the inspiration I found in the “power of one” triggered a realization that I want to dedicate my life to kids. I’m now in the discovery process of looking into becoming a clinical child psychologist, with the intention of specializing in kids who are sick or live with disabilities. I can’t thank you enough for bringing clarity to my life.”

“Wow, Wow, WOW!!! Your energy just flows off the page and into this reader’s inspiration center! The way that your path merged with the heroes and heroines in your book is amazing! And it just confirms that one life touches another by divine order and not by coincidence! We are always striving for awareness and, beyond that, the real challenge—true social inclusion…Thank you for writing such an inspirational book. I will pass it along to my family and friends. Take care.”

“I finished reading Dreams for Kids—the most inspirational book I have ever read…Your style is honest and to the point and immediately connects people. These were the most absolutely amazing and inspirational people. This book is so heartfelt and real. I walk away with a fuller sense of commitment to helping others. This book took me through a range of emotions—I don’t cry easily and I tried to hold my composure, but I found that 5 or 6 times on the beach, I had tears uncontrollably streaming down my cheeks ( while hiding it from my wife) due to the higher place you brought me. Thank you for your “blue print”—I want to spread your message and have all of my family members and friends read this powerful book.”

“Dreams for Kids is the greatest gift of my life. The book continues to inspire, motivate, and enrich my dream of serving disadvantaged and hopeless children in my community. For me, this book truly means that each of us has a potential in us and, by unleashing the potential, we can make a difference in other lives. Many thanks for your creativity and the true heart and love you have for the disadvantaged and hopeless children around the world. You have demonstrated this by writing this book, which is now spreading around the world. May Almighty God Bless You.”

“I enjoyed Dreams for Kids so much. I couldn’t put it down. From the start, with J.J.’s story (I was in a heap) and all of the other stories and people you wrote about, the book was so inspiring. It’s just amazing to me how you get it so well. You really seem to understand the nature, the mindset, and the frustrations of a special needs person and those who take care of them. I never really put a word to it, but it is isolation that we feel. There was just so much in the book that I could personally relate to and so many inspiring words that I want to remember. I plan to read it again, a little slower, with a highlighter, so I can be sure to remember it all.”

“I feel as if I have been swept up into a magical world where miracles happen and dreams come true. Dreams for Kids is so superbly written and has inspired me to be a better person—a dolphin that senses need and jumps into unchartered waters without even being asked and without concern for the consequences—just for the chance to change someone else’s life for the better.
Your book has made me reassess where true joy comes from—the joy of giving my heart, mind, and soul to help someone less fortunate.
I was so empowered by reading the stories of the unimaginable courage of the people in this book, and their cycle of giving and gratitude, giving back what has been so freely given to them. If they can do it, is there any excuse for the rest of us?”

“It is 2:20 a.m. I remember seeing GHOSTS at Stratford, Ontario, years ago. Twelve hundred people exited the theatre in silence. It was an extraordinary thing to be part of. Your book gave me a repeat experience. Yet this time I was alone. I feel that a tremendous wave of peace has filled my being. I sense a powerful clarity about what my tomorrows will be, without a clue of how they will unfold. Dreams for Kids is remarkable. Your voice, your words, your story-telling, is unreal. Such power and simplicity. There are not words enough to adequately define my reactions and feelings.”
