American Express and Lindblad Expeditions Donate to the Ellen Meadows Prosthetic Hand Foundation

What a surprise at the end of our Helping Hands program October 8, 2012 in San Antonio, Texas when these two organizations handed me a 2 by 3 foot check for $5,000. Thank you American Express and Lindblad Expeditions. They had already co-funded this philanthropic teambuilding event where participants built 75 LN-4 prosthetic hands for people in developing countries but they wanted to do more. And more they did. I was blown away. Such good people, good companies, making such a difference. It inspired even more generosity when participants came up donating more to LN-4.org our partner in this project. One guy came up and simply handed me his business card and said, "I want to match their donation", written on the card it said $5,000 and he turned and walked away.

I know Helping Hands makes a difference on so many levels but I am continually surprised by how much. I am just amazed and grateful.
