God bless you all for your selfless dedication searching for Andrew and Wesley, and all those loved ones before and after. I am truly touched by your kindness, compassion and devotion. Although I can't personally help in the search, I hope this will help with some of your expenses. Thank you for all you are and all you do for others.

I have children and can't even imagine the parents' nightmare. Just wanted to commend you for being so persistent in finding these boys, that you don't even know. Especially under cold and muddy conditions. May God always be with you.
