Story & Pictures

We wanted number 20 to be special and we got our wish. My mother saw his grandmother in a restaurant and she told her about this boy who is her grandson. He has some medical problems so we figured he would want a laptop to help with his school and fun ;).If you would like to learn more about Vincent you can go to his website by clicking here.
