Hello everyone: I emailed Adam and asked to post this and he gave it the OK. My wife and I are leaving our jobs to open our own pizzeria - Smiling With Hope Pizza- in Reno, NV, and will continue my work with training/employing people with Developmental Disabilities. We are sinking all we own and going into to debt to make this happen because we feel a drive to help people that will forever struggle to navigate the waters of our society. A good pizza friend and partner with Paulie Gee of Paulie Gee's Pizzeria in NYC recently visited us and after going over our finances convinced us to start a fundraiser to help make this venture a success. If you could take a look at our fundraiser and pass it on to people you know that care about social causes we sure would appreciate it. To add some musical content to things I recorded this thank you song today. You can hear it below titled - Smiling with Hope. I want to thank Adam and everyone here for the support with my work with students with developmental disabilities. Walter

I can't afford to donate much right now, but I gave you $5. Hopefully some of the more well heeled members can help out too. Keep up the good works.

Nate: Thank you so much for the donation! The amount is not near as powerful as the fact that you put us in your heart. Good mojo is worth more than money. Walter

Harpaholic, you just click the image, and there should be a big 'donate' button on the right side of the page. It will ask for your credit card info.

Nate: Thanks for helping direct and sorry you are having a hard time Harpaholic accessing the site. Things are rolling better than we ever expected with this and an article in the works for Pam Shriver's Webpage. Thank you to everyone who looked at our project, donated, and spread the word. Walter

Thanks JustFuya!

Maria Shriver shared our story on her webpage today. We feel so lucky that she deemed our cause worthy. Walter
