Colin Dorreen - a giant with a heart to match

UPDATE for everyone who supported Colin Doreen by donating to his Givealittle Page and sending supportive messages.

You might remember 16 yr old Colin as the lovely young man who helped out a bunch of people at the supermarket by helping them get their groceries loaded into their cars in torrential rain.

What started as a kind gesture seemed to spark something in our community as evidenced by the overwhelming response. A Givealittle page was set up when it was noticed that Colin's goal was to finish high school in the States via a student exchange.

Well guys - you did it. You raised enough money for Colin to achieve his goal. Long story short, Colin got his visa approved yesterday (thanks to tireless work by his dad, Colin Snr) and they can finally share the news that Colin leaves next week to attend Cardinal Newman High School in San Francisco. He will attend this year and next year and he and his whanau are so excited.

I'm happy to be sharing this post with you, with the permission of both Colin Jnr and Colin Snr because it's important to them that his supporters have this update.

Please share this post with anyone you know who donated to the Givealittle Page and please join me in wishing Colin all the very best for his very exciting and very well-deserved future. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
