Thumbs up: It was only a year and a half ago that the people from the Campbell River area opened their hearts (and wallets) to help a very sick boy in far away Syria. Through everyone’s caring and sharing, Elias was able to have a successful kidney transplant. His aunt, Myrel Awad took this photo of herself with the now healthy and thriving Elias and his grateful mother. They say thank-you from the bottom of their hearts to all of the people who contributed to this miracle.
