Caring for the Cranes

Make a Difference with Style!

The Kindergarten teachers from Carpenter Hill Elementary School have joined together to help support the Crane family. We recently heard a story about the Crane Family that lives in Kyle.  They have three children and two of them are extremely sick and fighting for their lives.  Can you imagine?  One sick child is enough, but two?  We were so touched by their story and feel the need to help them, and with your help, we can help the Cranes…here’s how:
