This is John Newman, son of
Lisa Newman, taken
in 1998. He has a heart bigger than Texas, and
is smart as a whip. John attended the St. Vincent's Christmas
party last year (1998) with his parents and lent
a helping hand in all areas...without anyone
having to ask. When John heard about the
party and some of the PA families in need, he decided on his
own to raise monies at his school to
present to Small Miracles Foundation.
John raised $400 through his schoolmates,
and this money was used by SMF toward the purchase of a new
computer system that was given to Billy Lamon for educational
use. Billy and family have had to cope with their mother's
bout with terminal cancer. Small Miracles Staff and all
volunteers are proud of the work John Newman put forth
to assist Billy and the Children at St. Vincent's....he is a
person we all admire and love.
This year, X-mas 1999, John gave up his
allowance so that some of the homeless women and children at
Trevor's Place would have a Merry Christmas.
Thanks again John...you're
a very thoughtful person.

Pictured above is Lisa Newman.
She first heard about Small Miracles Foundation when she learned
that someone stole the "donation cannister" from the Shop-n-Bag
store in the Mayfair Shopping Center in 1998. As a result,
she phoned the Small Miracles Foundation office and offered
to replace the stolen money.
Once again, when she learned that Small Miracles Foundation
was holding a X-Mas Party for the homeless mothers and children
at Trevor's place, Lisa Newman phoned the SMF volunteer line
and offered to buy gifts for all the children at Trevor's, and
to volunteer her time.
Lisa Newman is not only beautiful
on the outside, but is a unique, good hearted, caring individual.
Her warmth and deep feeling for others are evident by just looking
in her eyes.
From all the mothers and children at Trevor's Place, and from
SMF Directors, thanks again Lisa, for reaching
out to help needy invividuals. We couldn't have had a
successful event without your help! We
love you very much.
