    Mike Ogden, President Sparkling Diamonds

    Elle & Brad Parents of Jasmin

  • “ I can't thank Variety enough for supplying the van to us we are eternally grateful... Anything that makes his [Aaron] life easier makes me happy. ”

    Michelle Mother of Aaron

  • “ Words can hardly express the gratitude we have for Variety which, earlier this year, provided our two vision impaired children, Alyce and Nicholas, with a BrailleNote... We know that Alyce and Nicholas will continue to benefit from this technology for many years to come. ”

    Stephen and Jackie parents of Alyce and Nicholas
