  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Grace, Sharon, and 
Eric Li. Together, these siblings founded a group called We Care Act 
and have helped countless people around the world.
  We Care Act began in response to the 2008 earthquake in the Sichuan 
Province of China. Since its founding, We Care Act has distributed 
goods to over 30,000 people while involving 30,000 donors and 
volunteers. Most recently, the group gathered donations for families 
affected by the Houston Memorial Day floods and the victims of the 
Nepal earthquake. They've donated everything from laptops to letters of 
condolences to countries from Nicaragua to Japan. Sharon, a recent 
Dawson High School graduate, is headed to Yale in the fall with a 
$10,000 scholarship from Kohl's and a $20,000 from the Coca-Cola 
Foundation. We are proud of how much these siblings have helped people 
all over the world.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, thank 
you to the Li siblings and We Care Act for all they do to help people 
at home and around the world.
