Some couldn’t attend but still encouraged others to come help.
We saw parents and children working side by side, grandparents lending their strength, cheerful young girls, and energetic young men lifting and building —
Together, you created one big, loving, united family. ❤️

A special thank-you to the students from Garden Grove High School – whose youthful energy, positivity, and teamwork added so much vibrance and joy to the event. 🌟
