Hello,
My six stars will be gone soon. But this one is well written and the topic touched my heart. Timothy's poor family! They are very strong and ultra compassionate.

Good luck in the contest.

    I realize it has taken me a while to respond to your review.

    I always appreciate your comments, support, and the six stars.

    Glad you enjoyed this little story.

It is an exceptionally moving story indeed. Based on a true story, it does read in this way, even though listed as fiction. I would have liked to have known what could have been done if little "Timmy" had been diagnosed quickly or if there were any attempts made to treat him. It certainly held my attention throughout and I didn't see any spelling errors or edits needed.
All the best,
Jan

    Unfortunately, the mortality rate of this ailment exceeds 95 percent even with treatment.

    Since 2008, only seven people worldwide have been known to survive this ailment.

    In this case, the boy "Timmy," was not one of the fortunate very few.

    Glad you enjoyed this story and appreciate you taking the time to read it and to write a review.

This meets the contest requirements beautifully as you deliver an inspiring holiday story - even better to be based on real life events which shows us all that good CAN and DOES come out of tragedy. All the best in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Yes, this is a touching story Brett. It's not often you see generosity in the greedy world of today. In the rush to get Christmas presents for their own families most people forget there are those who have nothing to give their children Christmas Eve. Nice story. Nancy

A humanistic, cultural and welfare fun making and entertaining fiction, I like.
Fantastic, simple, fast and naturally forwarding plot spread cause the theme.
There is a good catch in the beginning with a curious ending.

An inflammation of the brain, Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis claimed Timmy's young life, not four days after the leisurely fun afternoon of swimming in the blue waters of the Caribbean.' I honestly could not believe how sad this was, how tragic... then the lovely gesture of giving bikes to the needy so that they can ride them and be joyful as Timmy was to keep his memory alive...wow...utterly amazing and awe-inspiring. This is such an amazing story well done and I know Timmy is in heaven now and safe and happy all my warmest regards and well done telling his story kindest regards Meia x
