They knew it they were touching down in New York as they exited the terminal Angela spotted Edward Caldwell waiting for them a warm smile. On his face Welcome to New York he greeted them giving Angela a friendly handshake and Mia a gentle high five we're so glad you could make it. As they drove through the bustling streets of the city Mia's eyes were wide with Wonder everything's so big she exclaimed her nose pressed against. The car window Edward chuckled it certainly is but you know what MIA even in a big city like this small acts of kindness can make a huge difference just like what you did. For Jonathan they pulled up to a beautiful Brownstone in a quiet neighborhood as they got out of the car the front door opened and Catherine came out to greet them followed closely by Jonathan.
And a large friendly looking golden retriever Max Mia squealed her face lighting up at the sight of the dog Jonathan laughed he's been excited to meet you too. Mia I think he knows you're special as Max bounded over to greet them tail wagging furiously Angela felt a wave of emotion wash over. Her this was real they were here about to embark on a journey that would change not just just their lives but the lives of countless others. The next few days were a blur of activity the caldwells showed them around the city taking them to famous landmarks and hidden gems alike. Mia was in awe of everything from the Towering skyscrapers to the street performers in Central Park but it wasn't all sightseeing they spent long hours discussing.
The foundation brainstorming ideas and making plans Angela was impressed by how seriously the caldwells took Mia as input always listening carefully to her ideas and suggestions you know Katherine said. One afternoon as they were discussing potential programs I think Mia's idea about the sandwiches is brilliant it's simple direct and meaningful Edward nodded in agreement we could set up sandwich stations around. The city places where people in need could get a meal no questions asked Mia's face lit up and maybe we could put nice notes in the sandwiches too to make people feel better. Like how I made Jonathan feel better the adults exchanged glances smiling at Mia's boundless compassion that's a wonderful idea Mia Jonathan said ruffling. Her hair affectionately as the days passed Angela found herself relaxing more and more the caldwells were warm and genuine treating her and Mia like family.
