    COMMENDING JACKSON GOODMAN FOR HIS SUPPORT OF MOTHERS & FAMILIES

                                 ______

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible 
young man in TX-22. Jackson Goodman is a ten-year-old fourth grader at 
Epiphany Catholic School who at a young age is already making a sincere 
impact in our community.
  Jackson has been gathering diapers and baby wipes through diaper 
drives for the past two Lenten seasons to help the Pregnancy Help 
Center. This needed center gives confidential and free care to people 
with unplanned pregnancies.
  In his first year collecting donations, Jackson gave the Pregnancy 
Help Center almost two thousand diapers. He more than tripled that 
contribution the following year, donating over 6,900 diapers. This 
year, Jackson was able to donate over 7,000 diapers and almost 10,400 
baby wipes to the Pregnancy Help Center.
  These supplies may seem like an easy grocery store grab, but for some 
mothers and families they are a needed--and expensive--commodity. And, 
in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, they are harder to get than 
ever.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, we 
commend Jackson Goodman: an impressive young man who more than lives up 
to his last name.
