The story below went out on May 10th and on May 18th, a bed was delivered to Sandra's apartment.  Generous donors wanted to make sure that Yngvar's heroic gesture resulted in a dream come true for Sandra.   The new bed replaced a mattress that was caved in the middle and blankets had to be used to try to make it level so Sandra could turn over.   In a telephone call, I asked Sandra if she had access to any computer where I could send a photo of the young Yngvar.   Sandra told me she had no access but she had always wanted a computer so she could take college courses online.  Her lack of mobility and transportation prevented her from getting to a college center.   People who know Sandra told us she had always wanted to take college courses.  They also told us about her consistency in following through with things she started - whether it was health care treatments or other projects. We shared her story and 3 days later a laptop computer arrived in the mail for her.

 Sandra is now learning how to use the computer and looking forward to the on-line courses.  A group of young people from a Universalist Church is sponsoring the internet connection for Sandra for a year.    The selfless, contribution of 9 year old Yngvar from Norway  has been the catalyst to providing Sandra not only with a decent bed, but also a way to fulfill her dream for an education.

 Yes, there really is a Santa Clause - he lives in Norway, in New Hampshire, in New York, in Virginia, in France, in England, in Texas and in many other places around the world.
