I am a social worker. I wanted to tell everyone about my very dear friend who passed away a few months ago.
I met him many years ago while doing my internship （实习）in the county prison. He was   __     a program he had designed to help prisoners with drug and alcohol problems. He was always         new ways to bring hope and help to these men and their        .
One of his favorite         was the Toy Drive he would run every Christmas for the children of the prisoners. He did this for twenty years         his sudden death. As last Christmas        , I decided that this tradition had to be        , for the children as well as the         of my friend.
But the file where he kept the names of the people who had helped him over the years had gone        . I had to start anew（重新）and with very little        ! I started making phones calls, explaining about the project and my        . I prayed every night that the event would,        , be worthy of my friend.
To my great        , individuals, churches and businesses began to come on board and,  __    , I had enough toys to give to all the children of the prisoners with some left over for the local community        !
When Christmas Eve finally arrived, I felt very happy, thinking I had done all I could do and reflecting on what a（n）       it had been for me. I was bagging up the remaining toys         if there was anyone left who might like them. Then my phone rang.
It was my daughter. She         to explain about a woman she knew in Kentucky who had five children, one seriously ill, no husband, no heating in the home, no toys!
Ohh--how could we not?
My daughter and I drove all night, from New York to Kentucky, and those children woke up in a nice warm house with plenty of        !
My friend’s         of kindness lived on that year, reaching all the way to Kentucky!
