John and his family made sparkleballs to raise money for a friend's medical expenses. They set up a sparkleball "factory" on their patio.

Dear Sparkleball Lady,
Hi! I'm sure you would enjoy the giant Christmas lanterns ["parols"] made in the province of Pampanga in the Philippines. The lanterns and your sparkleballs have the same effect on people. All the best to you!
