Ted & Linda have been donors to World Compassion Network for over 13 years. Their journey of compassion first aligned with WCN when WCN responded to the aftermath of a horrific tsunami in Japan. As the years went by, Ted and Linda invested more in WCN through becoming monthly donors with ever increasing gifts. Even though Ted & Linda are only in their 60’s, they decided to ensure their future investment in WCN by designating a portion of their wills to WCN. They want to help sustain the work WCN does with those suffering from disasters and poverty. Ted & Linda are excited and proud to leave this continuing legacy behind.
