I just hung up the phone from talking with Melissa. She is the woman behind the Puzzling Piece iPad challenge. She called to tell me Josiah WON! What a huge blessing this is.
Melissa said her phone would ‘ding’ when new orders came in. It kept dinging and she and her husband would jokingly say to one another, “Guess who that one is probably for?” figuring it was for Josiah. And it was. In l3 days, 60 orders were placed to help Josiah win his ipad. That’s lightening speed. WOW!
Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Not only for ordering puzzle piece key chains and necklaces (and now corkscrews) but also for spreading the word. If it hadn’t been for your compassion and thoughtfulness, my son would never have WON.
My hope now is when Josiah’s iPad arrives, we are able to download a communication application for him to use. My prayer is he will learn very quickly that he now can have a ‘voice’. My dream is Josiah will find the ‘words’ to express whatever it is he wants to ‘say’.
You can bet the moment he communicates ANYTHING with his new iPad, I will be shouting it out to the world. You will be the first to know. Just imagine the day when Josiah is able to create his own blog post. It brings tears to my eyes to even think such a thought.
Until the time my son can thank you, I will. From the bottom of my heart, I offer humble gratitude. You have been a blessing to me. You have been a blessing to my son. You have been a blessing to our family.
I hope that you will be blessed 10 fold for all you have done for us.
God Bless You.
The blessing to us will be Josiah’s words (through ipad or himself!) And you can bet there are as many prayers or more, than there were necklace/key chain orders.
Thank you! We greatly appreciate all the prayers!!! It’s such a blessing to know others are lifting us up in prayer.
My sister just asked if she could still order. ABSOLUTELY!! While we don’t want to be greedy in any way, additional orders above what we already have go towards an itunes gift card to purchase apps for the ipad. The communication app that was highly recommended for Josiah is $300. An itunes gift card would be a huge help. So, if you care to pass on the challenge information, we are going to keep it going. The challenge includes the puzzle piece cork screw now as well. Thank you!
