What a feel good story!! Sir, even the thread title doesn't do your selfless actions justice. Easy to imagine literally the life-long appreciation those kids feel for your help. Thank you!

I wish I knew someone like you in south Calgary.
We have a grade 7 daughter with ADHD struggling with math and is barely making grades and just can't seem to grasp the concepts and how they flow together.
A tutor is ridiculously over priced and far out of our budget.

The world needs more people like you in it.

Kudos to you Zeke, I hope you realize those kids will appreciate you much more later on in life for your selfless act of giving. Folks like you give this country hope....

Volunteering your time like that is key on so many levels. This is a short but good read on the impact you've had with these kiddos, and the tools you've provided and promoted in them.

More people need to take a page out of your volunteer handbook...
