"Two boys, two scary ailments," by Jennifer Moody tells the story of two boys, their loving parents and a community determined to help however they could. The story didn't dwell on the medical terminology that can sometimes make stories such as these rather dull to read.
Instead, Moody focused her attention and that of the readers on the great community support the two families have been receiving from Journey Church, West Albany and Santiam Christian High School. Moody shows how those fund raisers have brought relief to the families while bringing the community together for a great cause.
The story also noted on the great care each boy has received at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland.
I think Moody's use of the boys' first names made the story much more personable and warm. Her use of quotes really helped show the compassionate side of the people in the story.
The 'At a glance,' worked really well because it told people ways they could get involved to support the boys and their families.
