Sparrow Hospital Visit 2022

This is why we do what we do. The league's primary function, is to visit kids in hospitals. We raise money to make care packages to give out to the kids. When we say, be the hero someone sees today... this is what we are talking about. These kids get tired, they get scared, they lose hope. When we show up every two weeks, we bring toys to play with, books to read, things to do... and hope. We say, if you don't have the strength, you can have some of mine. This is all for them. LEAGUE OF ENCHANTMENT

Grand Rapids Spring Fling 2022

Have Camera Will Cosplay took me aside for about 2 minutes and took some incredible pictures.

I hate and denounce white supremacy and see it as one of the biggest issues in our society today.
