Thank You for Sponsoring RYLA

A letter from Rhonda Adkins on the Jack James family response to the RYLA camp.

Good afternoon,

I wanted to sincerely thank you for sponsoring our kids. I'm sure I was a bit of a pain with all the questions I had. Once the kids came back and I heard how amazing it was for them I feel less anxious. I guess being a nervous mother type sending kids to camp for the first time.

Brandon said it was the best experience of his life. I know that seems hard to believe. But he talked about making so many friends and people at this school tend to ignore him. The other gals told me that he totally lit up a room and they could see him smiling from ear to ear. They said they have never seen him so happy and coming out of his shell. He told me about something he got everyone on the bus to do for mothers day. He felt so empowered to create and idea that everyone followed along. The kids were just vibrating and so happy from this experience.

We can't thank you enough from our Jack James family for taking care of those kids, paying for this amazing opportunity and your total support. Wow, what an amazing experience you created for these kids.
