So she would go find kids that were comp specifically scoliosis or uh the spine was grown, you know, like an S or total bone uh bone issues.
And she had a relationship with Shriner's Hospital.
in Chicago and she would bring one of the parents and the child to Chicago so they'd be two months, six months, eight months, and she would put them up and and she would uh take care of their expenses and bills and fix these kids.
And I noticed my mom was doing this and I started to have some success in the in the mid nineties and so I started, you know, joining my mom and giving a few bucks for it.
Well pretty soon we said, you know, these hotels are expensive.
Let's buy a house where we could put these people up
In a house in Lamont in the Lithuanian neighborhood.
So we bought a house in Lamont, Illinois, and we started bringing over three and four and five, six kids from Lithuania and fixing their bones.
And meanwhile, I'm still doing all the stuff at Jimmy John's, but this is my journey of philanthropy.
I just want to set the stage.
So we would bring these families over, and Dr.
Lubicki at Shriner's Hospital in Chicago, he was the lead uh surgeon, and he would all donate.
Donated and and we would take these children and transform them and change their lives and and then send them back to Lithuania.
Well that evolved, and then we said price or the president of Lithuania got elected, his name was Valdis Adamkis, and he was a Chicago guy that he was also a refugee, moved back to Lithuania.
We actually helped him get elected with funding, and he was the the guy that spearheaded Lithuania.
Becoming part of the European Union.
When Valdis Adankis got elected, and my father and I were the were the largest contributors of that.
And you know, by the way, just so that the you all know, it was like two hundred thousand dollars.
But once that happened and and in Lithuania really started to prosper, my mom said to me, Jimmy, why don't we go and do and help do a hospital in Lithuania and let's modernize it and we can see about getting donations.
In America, and my mom said, I need $300,000 to put in some German windows.
