Thousands of cards from as far as France, Australia, and Russia filled Devins apartment. Devin’s Family read as many of the cards as they could to him. This cards reminded everyone all over the world the importance of love. Many of Devins toys and teddy bears were collected in donation boxes all over the city of about 6,000 people. Devin made sure his classmates who came to visit took home stuffed bear.
