From Aug. 5-16, Romy and her mother Leah will travel to Antigua, Guatemala in order to deliver supplies to an orphanage and others in need.
Romy was born in Guatemala. When she was little more than a year old, Romy was adopted and brought to the United States. Leah herself is Colombian-born and was adopted and brought to this country.
While in Guatemala, Romy and Leah will visit an orphanage to deliver everything from toothbrushes and underwear to stuffed animals and Frisbees. Besides delivering goodies, the two are visiting the orphanage for the kids who they will play with and get to know.
One of the main goals of the McVickers’ trip is to also deliver bunk beds to Guatemalans who would not be able to afford beds on their own. $180 buys the frame, mattresses, and bedding. At least one of the beds will be donated to local bomberos, or paramedics/ firefighters, in Antigua.

Why is it that stories about people doing great things never get many comments on here, but let someone get arrested (not yet convicted) and everyone comes out of the woodwork to bash them?
Good job McViker family!
