Riviera Cake Fairy Sweetens the Lives of the Disabled in El Salvador
Riviera Cake Fairy Anna Spallino recently flew thousands of miles to deliver wheelchairs to disabled children and adults in El Salvador. When Anna began selling homemade cakes two years ago to raise money for Free Wheelchair Mission, she never imagined she’d have the chance to actually deliver the wheelchairs to needy people. A junior at South High, Anna’s cakebaking mission began as a Girl Scout Gold Award project. After selling more than 100 cakes, Anna raised enough they could go to the store or school, enjoy the outdoors and go to church – things we take for granted, “said Anna. “It not only changed their lives, it changed the lives of the whole family since now they wouldn’t have to carry their relatives, and they could do more together.” Anna was particularly touched by a young child named Jennifer who was born without the ability to walk and was carried by her parents her whole life. Anna couldn’t get a smile out of her until she helped place her in her own wheelchair. When she started wheeling her around, Jennifer squealed in delight. Anna will continue raising money for Free Wheelchair Mission by selling her made-from-scratch cakes. Each cake costs $30 and all proceeds are donated to Free Wheelchair Mission. For every two cakes sold, Anna can help Free Wheelchair Mission provide a disabled person with a wheelchair. She also takes donations at her Free Wheelchair Mission website at www.fwm.kintera.org/ mobilityfor550. To watch a very touching 4 minute video of Anna and other volunteers delivering wheelchairs in El Salvador, go to youtube.com and type in Free Wheelchair Mission El Salvador, or visit http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=urkCABRVDjQ.

money to purchase 60 wheelchairs for the non-profit organization. When the organizers of the charity invited Anna to join them a few weeks before they left for El Salvador this summer, she jumped at the chance. “We drove for hours every day to visit impoverished villages from the borders of Guatemala to Honduras, places where there was no running water,” said Anna. “When we’d get to the villages the people needing wheelchairs were often carried to the town square on peoples’ backs and in wheelbarrows. One woman crawled there. It felt so good to literally help them get off the ground so they could lead more dignified lives.” Anna, her mom and six other volunteers delivered 60 wheelchairs in the week they were in El Salvador. “Everyone was so grateful that now

Another Satisfied Client
June 14, 2012 Dear Igor, You are the hardest working real estate agent ever! Your ability to network with other agents found us the EXACT home we were hoping for, "off market," resulting in a private sale. And simultaneously, your expansive client base quickly revealed a buyer for our existing home, also resulting in a private sale! The fact that we were able to close escrow on both houses within just days of each other, without a "For Sale" sign ever needing to go up, is just remarkable. Your consummate professionalism allowed both transactions to proceed smoothly, and your work ethic was unparalleled (thank you for helping move our furniture, meeting us "after hours" to accommodate our schedules, and basically walking us through every step of the process). We also appreciate the considerable time you spent helping us learn about the various neighborhoods in the South Bay. We consider you a friend and are grateful to you. We have already whole-heartedly recommended you to several of our friends and family members! Thank you, Igor! With best wishes always, Grace & Wayne Song
