Though I let you into much of my life, there’s also much that I keep private.
I guess the reason for this is because I’m not really big on flashiness, or talking about how great I am.
But after having an experience like the one we just had, I just couldn’t keep this to myself.
Because it’s moments like this that make life incredible.
You may know that we started a family foundation in 2008.
In case you don’t know what a family foundation is, think of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Thompson Family Foundation is similar, but on a smaller scale.
My original motivation for starting our family foundation was for the tax break I’d receive.
But in the process of organizing it, Lisa and I caught a real vision for all the good we could do through this family foundation.
Over the last two years we’ve done exactly that.
We’ve provided needed assistance to lots of different worth organizations, and in the process I’ve come to realize that the entire purpose of my business is to fund our family foundation.
It’s been incredibly humbling and gratifying to know that we’ve made a difference in so many people’s lives over the last two years.
But I have to say…
Nothing can compare to what we did last week.
We undertook a huge project, unlike anything we’d ever done before.
And like I said, the reason I didn’t tell you about it in advance, was simply because I didn’t want to be perceived as bragging.
But now that it’s happened, I’ve got to share the experience with you.
On September 27th our entire family flew to Jamaica with the purpose of taking needed supplies to the Blossom Garden Orphanage in Montego Bay.
But what actually transpired when we arrived was completely unexpected.
Instead of our family giving to these 40+ orphaned children, they gave to us.
We spent two days at the orphanage doing nothing more than spending time with, loving and holding these children.
It was an emotional experience that one can hardly put into words.
I’m getting pretty choked up right now as I write this to you.
Instead of trying to continue writing, I decided to share these photos with you instead.
I know this is completely outside of how I normally communicate with you.
On the surface, this may seem like it has nothing do with business or creating income, yet it has everything to do with business and creating income.
Because the fact is, when you have a vision that’s bigger than yourself, the resources, tools, finances, people and everything else you need seem to be attracted, almost as if by magic.
If you like these photos and want to see some more, just let me know.
I’ve got some video clips too, and maybe I’ll even share those if you’re interested in seeing them.
Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson

When we make others happy, a part of our soul sings with them… when we make people sad, sometimes our innermost being starts to groan…in these photos it seems like everyone is smiling, so..as a Jamaican, I will join you and start smiling too. Keep making the world a better place..if you can. Reach out and touch, somebody’s hand make this world into…a
Kevin, awesome work. It is just a wonderful thing to do. I know for myself that I get a great feeling when I do something for someone else. I hope that I can do more of that in the near future. A.B.

You are to be commended.

You’ve got a great idea for a family foundation. We’re going to establish one in Alliance, Oh the “Carnation City” to assist worthy causes. Your friend, Jerry
Kevin, what we put out truly does come back to us tenfold. You deserve all the good you receive since you have planted the seeds and they have grown. Keep sowing and reaping my friend!

Kevin,
Looks like you’re doing good things. I’m 61 and have worked a total of 2 months in the past 3 years. I have not begun working online, but have been looking over various programs for some time. I have no products and have no background in sales, but I have knowledge of some energy-related products that do work and can save money for those who are willing to learn and implement. I’m not a techy for electronic devices since I’m too old school, but realize even I must learn to use new tools or risk living disadvantaged.
Keep up your good work. RC
This very thing has been on my mind for many years. We currently provide temporary housing for traveling missionaries and other support. But I have always wanted to do more. Looking forward to getting started.

Kevin I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pictures and would like to see more. I get choaked up when watching Vision TV and all the little children that do not have even food to eat, and some no parents at all. The world is a better place to live in with you and Lisa and what you are doing. The baby you are holding next to your own baby looks just like a china doll, I am sure of what you experienced there, I possibly would have experienced the same feelings, and I wish your Foundation plenty of success.
Having been a part of a mission program in St. Ann’s Bay Jamaica ( about 1-1/2 hour drive east of Montego Bay, near Ocho Rios) for about 30 years, I can defnitely relate to your experience. The needs throughout the region are great and you can only do so much, but if everyone did a little….
WOW that is all I can say. You have truly been touched by God…..and the children have a wonderful angle that God has sent to them continue the Great Work they truely need you God Bless you and the children……
Rodney Meaux
WOW! Kevin;
That is fantaistic! I have never had enough money to make a big difference but you doing what God and Jesus has taught us to do. Take care of the needy, the poor and his little children. Your rewards will be great in the Kingdom to come. About the best I have been able to do is go to Trinidad and deep old Mexico and help build houses. Even though these houses were only 300 to 400 sq. feet,you would have thought we were building a manison for these people. They were so excited and so thankful we got so much from just seeing the pure excitement in their eyes. You need to let more people see what you are doing, for the glory goes to God for you following his works and it does people like me and others so much good to see the good you are doing. God bless you and your family and all conected to you.
If you have missed knowing me, you have missed nothing.
But if you have missed knowing my Lord and Savior, you have missed everything in the world.
Your servant in Christ Jesus,
Keith Greenwood
And yes , I would like to see more.

Great work, Kevin. Bravos & kudos to you and your family for envisioning this, and creating the action plan(s) that made it happen. God’s rich blessings are flowing freely onto you, and to those precious children you served. Thanks for sharing this.
KEVIN EVERY SINCE I’VE BEEN READING YOUR E-MAILS I KNEW YOU WOULD NOT DO ANY THING LESS, BECAUSE THAT IS THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU AND LISA ARE. ONE DAY IM GOING TO JOIN YOU BECAUSE YOU SHOOT STRAIGHT AND THATS WHAT I LIKE. UNTIL THEN GOD BLESS
Hi Kevin:
What a wonderful work. Those angels in Heaven are watching over and blessing you guys in many ways for doing such wonderful works. Thanks for sharing. Yes I would like to see more pictures.
Hey Kevin Thompson,
You are doing a wonderful thing, God bless you.
These poor orphans children need our affection,
more than enything else.
Kevin, things get used up and thrown away, but display love, and it never goes away. I’m happy you found nobility in doing the right thing. Life and learning begin and end at the same time.
You have made a very thought provoking point. I was deeply touched by this story and the pictures. They are worth thousands of words. I would appreciate seeing the videos also. Thank you for sharing all this and thank you for teaching me.
Hi Kevin,
I was very pleased to hear from you and don’t ever think that I see you as bragging or boasting about you and what you and Lisa are doing. You have the heart of gold and everyone can see it. I enjoyed the pictures and would like to see the rest of them. My friend and his pastor and church are in Ghana, Africa building an orphange. My friend Mark was an orphan at the age of 6yrs. His parents were killed in a car accident. I dearly love little children that need our help so much.I cry when I see the kids on TV that need help. This hasn’t been my greatest year to help anyone but it is not over yet.
Keep up the good work you and Lisa are doing and I know God is blessing you guys greatly.
Take care,
Betty
Hi Kevin & Lisa, Ithink what you’re doing is awesome! Most people that have any kind of money blow it on things that don’t help anyone, not even themselves. But by reading everything you send, I know your heart is in the right way. God says, “Give and it shall be given unto you, Pressed down, shaken together and running over. Continue doing. The foot steps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord! Louise S.***
Hi Kevin & Lisa,
What a wonderful work you are doing. The pictures are truly heart-warming. When you pass through to the other side, you will see, feel & know how far reaching your work has been. Our life review allows us to “live” the effects of our actions while on Earth. Thank you for creating more Love in our Earth-school.
Peace, Joy, Love, Light & Blessings,
