"Since I was two-years-old, my grandfather Gib Leonard has traveled to Zimbabwe to build housing, schools, and health clinics. His mission, driven by faith and dedication, inspires me every day. He is my hero, and I invite you to learn more about the Buy a Brick Foundation. Each donation impacts lives.”
