Lydia #3 - my profile
Lydia's Love provides birthday celebrations and grants little wishes for homeless children living in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon. It is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping local homeless children and families. (I am not affiliated with the organization...just admire its mission.)
