Inspiring story of giving
I received a letter in the mail from my grandparents the other day, Ruby and Kenny Bryant, that just embodied the spirit of this fundraising campaign. They are in their mid-90s, and don’t have much give, but they believed in the vision for helping empower students/schools/communities and reverse the culture of wasting that we see in so many of these places. They wrote that they wanted to give as much as they could, and so they challenged their Sunday school class to match their own contribution of $20,. . . . and so sure enough, the other folks in their class scrounged up the other $20 in change, etc… and I end up getting a check for $40 that I know people sacrificed something for. . . because they believed in the power that we all have to change the world. Do I still need several thousand dollars . . . sure (actually 3K). . . . and please. . . by all means give 
– but, an inspired gift really does lift the heart, and I am thankful!!
