WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!

"Joe,

I believe that Scott and Amy should win this pool. Here's why:

Scott and Amy have 12 kids. 3 of which are their biological children. The rest of the brood? Adopted. Their first adopted child was "Peanut". A little bundle of joy they adopted some years ago from a mother that was a crack addict. Then came the next brood. After being their foster parents for a few years to 8 children from the same family, they filed for adoption. These kids also came from a very drug infested, dysfunctional family. Having suffered mental abuse and being subjected to pornography at a very young age. While they were in the process of adoption, the mother became pregnant again, bringing the total to 9 children. Not wanting to
separate a family, Scott and Amy decided "what's one more?"

These kids range from the ages of teen to infant. Having these many kids placed in one home is almost unheard of. In almost all cases the family is usually split up. Not for Scott and Amy. Their BIG hearts welcomed them all. Scott works hard everyday which allows Amy to stay at home and raise these kids. Together, the two of them are building a strong, nurturing environment these children so deserve.

Living on a farm, the kids divide up all the chores that it takes to run a house with that many kids. Did I mention that Peanut's biological mom is pregnant? Yep that's right. Scott and Amy are hoping to add lucky #13......

God Bless them. They deserve this pool......."

I spoke with Amy yesterday afternoon and informed them that they were the winners of the new Pool. We'll deliver the pool to them some time today. Amy did inform me that they are in fact adopting the 13th child, (as mentioned above) and are trying to raise the $15,000.00 it takes, (believe it or not) to go through the adoption process. They have $3,000.00 of it but will be struggling to raise the additional $12,000.00 to complete the process.

In the mean time, Amy mentioned they had purchased a $15.00 pool for the kids to play in and while they had discussed buying a pool, they could afford either a fence, OR a pool but not both. Low and behold, here comes the free pool and now all they have to do is purchase and install the fence. Amy asked if I could just drop it off because she didn't want it installed until they had the fence up.

So Mr. Billy Hill, you asked me to find a Family who really needs a pool and had lots of kids, Salisbury News has delivered. To Reconciled1, who nominated this Family, you're a good man my friend and Scott and Amy are lucky to have you in their lives.

Thank you for sharing this story and I look forward to delivering this pool to their home today.

Remember Folks, if YOU would like to "Give Back" and do something special like this don't hesitate to contact us. There are a lot of Families in need. I want to thank ALL of you for writing in. The response was overwhelming and as you can all see from this message it was a clear winner.
