Donn Snedaker


We have had a difficult few weeks. Our friend Donn Snedaker passed away. Sned was like a Father to Tony and a Grandpa to Christopher. Christopher was named after Sned.

Sned was a teacher at our school for 32 years. He taught Tony, Me, all my siblings, my nieces and nephews. I truelly believe that no child accidently ended up in his classroom. He accepted the kids that needed extra help; educationally and emotionally.

I have been giving and doing philanthropic deeds forever, but I feel like I am not doing enough. Tony and I have sponosred 4 orphans for the last 5 years. All are out of the orphanage and have graduated vocational training. We have sent Christmas gifts to hundereds of kids in the orphanages each year. We sent blankets, sheets and coats to every child in one orphanage. We give food to the food panty, give toys to the daycare but am searching for a way to fill my philanthropic void.

Sned helped kids much deeper than what we do, I want to be like him.
