This is the first featured story on one of the individuals we chose to give a free shirt to. Everyone meet Kimberly and hear her story;
I would love to win the xxl shirt. I've been involved in the special
needs community since I was super little. My mom is a special needs
teacher so to me when I was growing up I learned these were kids like me
who sometimes happened to have something unique that made them special.
I never saw them as different than me. Now as I've grown up I've made
it my mission to expand upon what my mom has taught me. As of 9/6/13 I
completed an internship working with boys who were placed in residential
treatment due to delinquency and mental health issues. I've now
obtained my masters of professional counseling and I have an interview
with the Wisconsin department of vocational rehabilitation next week to
help adults with special needs obtain employment. I also continue to
volunteer at the place I had an internship with because of the relationship
I've built with the boys. I can't wait to what amazing things I have to
offer the people I will help in the future. Have a great day
Then when we notified her that she was receiving a shirt she responded with this;
OMG!!!!!! Pretty sure you just made my day. I will totally send you a
pic and I have no problems with you sharing my story. I promise to
totally share it with everyone I know
Upon receiving her shirt she sent back this picture and short thank you;
l keep your fingers crossed I have my interview with the dept of vocational rehabilitation on Thursday.
Have a great day
We will send positive vibes and prayers your way on thursday :)
Congratulations on the shirt, Kimberly! Good luck with your interview. Thank you for your dedication to working with boys in need, you will make the world a better place and touch many lives! :)
