Readers' forum: Community lifts burden

Published: Wednesday, Dec. 28 2011 12:00 a.m. MST

Summary

We are the recipients of Oquirrh Middle School students' amazing Sub for Santa gift. In the past, we have lifted our 14-year-old daughter, who is a quadriplegic, up and down the stairs in our home. Through the help of many anonymous donors, the school raised enough money to put a stair lift in our home.

We would like to thank the whole community of Riverton for literally lifting a huge burden off our backs just in time for Christmas. We are also grateful to Talbot Dental for offering to put braces on her for free. We cannot believe the generosity of our community, and we will never forget their gifts of love to our family. They are truly answers to our prayers, and we thank our community with all of our hearts.

Very nice.

And as Hillary Clinton correctly wrote once, it does indeed take a village. We are all in this together and a sense of community is such a great thing.
