      Not just the best American spririt. He embodies the best of spirits world wide. This is empathy, love for your community and he's showing an impressive focus on both succeeding with the challenge, but mostly; succeeding with helping out his community.
      I see that twinkle in his eye and that's just as infectous as his smile. I hope he can inspire young people *all over the world* to start helping out in their communities. Not that there's not a lot of amazing teenagers, and kids, in my part of the world too. But you can never, ever have too many people helping out less fortunate people/families.
      Well done, dude! *You're an inspiration!*
      Sending all my *love* to you, Phoenix.
      Greetings from a deeply impressed *Swede* living in *Oslo, Norway* to you in *Chesapeak, VA, America.*

      Just this evening, I was telling my sister I adhere to this philosophy "Do good and disappear." In other words, do something because it needs to be done, and don't expect or request anything in return.I am glad his family and friends supported him. May God bless and guide him.😇❤🙏🙏
