This was a very tough decision! So many deserving families I wish I could give to them all. But these are the ones that are chosen and let me explain why and you can read their short stories below.
Corrtney passed away. I couldn't imagine raising children alone without the help of thier father. His children are very young and mom suffers from health issues herself. When I read the story and the elegant way Angela wrote it, It just tugged on my heart strings for those children who will never know their daddy!

Jason will forever be on a feeding tube and I have been there, done that with my son. He had one 24 hours a day for 4 1/2 years so I personally know how hard it is. There must be a strong reason why Jason is still living and his attitude if you read his blog is just so uplifting and motivational for all of us to learn how to live with the right perspective!
