Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and thank Robby Sneltzer of Venango County, Pennsylvania. Robby is a 9-year-old Oil City resident with a kind heart. This holiday season, Robby decided to help his neighbors in need by starting a donation drive. With the help of his stepmother, Angel, Robby began to collect donations of toiletries, snacks, ponchos, hats, and hand sanitizer, stuffing backpacks full of these much-needed items for those in need. Robby's relatives pitched in with donations, as well as Hasson Heights Elementary School and Hope Pediatrics. The backpacks were donated to The Pointe. The Pointe is a drop-in center promoting recovery and community awareness for individuals who struggle with mental health difficulties. Angela Proper, executive director of The Pointe, said: ``When Robby brought them in and we piled them up, it was pretty amazing.'' I would like to personally thank Robby for his support of his community. Acts of kindness like these make our world a better place. ____________________
