Grace Caldwell

I have been part of giving to the community as a whole since before I could walk.  In fact my dad has a picture of me in a Baby Bjorn strapped to his chest while handing out bags of food to the homeless in San Francisco.

I now regularly participate in sock and warm clothing drives, and make dinners and lunches for people in need and help my dad and similarly minded friends of ours put together care packages to hand out to homeless encampments in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland and even in San Rafael.

My brother and I save our money to donate to various causes. My favorite, outside of Wednesdays gift, which we have been a part of since I was born, is St. Jude’s. I feel so badly for those sick kids and would do anything to help them.

School Worx came about as a suggestion from our pastor Joe Everly of the Quest church , whom had just returned from Africa and told us about school children that desperately wanted to go to school but couldn’t because they couldn’t afford the cost of the uniform….The cost was something like $12.00.  Further he talked about what an education meant to these kids and their families. So we started talking about how to help, not just there, but here as well.

I go St. Patrick’s in Larkspur ca, and know what a gift and blessings it is to be able to attend this wonderful school, but also to be involved in sports and music and all of the other things my brother and I get to do that some other kids don’t…and we want to help change that.

Jack Caldwell

My Name is Jack Caldwell and I am 9.  I go to St Patrick’s in Larkspur and am in the fourth grade. I love to play basketball and Golf and am really good at math.  I am getting better at reading and  am learning about history as well.

My dad makes us make sandwiches and packages for the homeless people all over the place. We have to go to Costco and to Target to buy socks and toothpaste and soap, and food and all sorts of other stuff.  That part is fun as we get push great big carts and the people are pretty nice to us.

Putting all of that together into bags isn’t as much fun, but we usually have lots of help from my dad’s friends and other family members like Auntie Lisa, and Freddy and Larry, and of course my sister Grace.

Handing out the packages is sometimes a little scary as we go to places where people live under freeways.

I also give to people in my neighborhood and to people by my Dads office in San Rafael.

I want to help other kids go to school and play sports like me its super fun and if they work hard they can go to a good school and get a good job.
