We recently delivered an iPod to Marquies Brooks. What an amazing young man!! We were honored to meet Marquies. He had tears in his eyes when he received his iPod, but we are the ones that are lucky! We wanted to share Marquies’ nomination because it tells the story of this wonderful “Angel In Disguise”

I’ve known Marquies Brooks since he was 5 yrs old.
It took him awhile to warm up to me but since then, I knew we would be
friends. Marquies is very smart,funny and a determined young man.
Although he comes to the clinic often, he makes sure he’s on top of
his school work and house chores. Marquies is very close to his
family. His parents, Keyshia and Major Brooks are always with him
giving him support and love as parents do for their children. His
sister Raven, comes to visit as well. Their relationship as sister and
brother is very special. I nominate Marquies Brooks because he’s a
soldier overcoming all obstacles that face him. He’s growing into a
young man and I’m proud of him.

We are wishing the Brooks family our very best!! We are so glad to know you Marquies!

The children from Ms. Rangel’s 1st grade class and Mark Twain Elementary school had a successful candy delivery! They saved the day at M.D. Anderson! One of the Doctor’s at M.D. Anderson said that if it weren’t for a toostie pop from the candy one of his patients wouldn’t have made it through the day. Music, candy and fun….that is what it is all about! Thanks to all of the little Angels from Mark Twain!
