A Child's Gift of Giving

It's a proud moment when you see your child doing something to help another person...well, in this case...to help animals!
Tonight my daughter & her friend did their 2nd annual fundraiser to raise $$ for the SPCA...
It all started last November when we were playing with pipe cleaners, started making Christmas chains out of them, and the girls realized we could make them & sell them. Of course they wanted to sell them for the SPCA because they both LOVEEEEEE cats!! (Anyone that knows my daughter knows she's been a cat lover since kindergarten!!)...
So I contacted a local restaurant to see if we could set up a table there to sell the xmas chains...The awesome manager agreed..the girls made $46.00 dollars...
This year, they DOUBLED in sales...made $92.00 dollars in 2 hours time selling their dog/cat magnets, chocolate suckers, and ornaments...and the same supportive manager let us set up in his rest. again...too cool!
The girls worked hard & were so excited to make $$ for the animals...
Like last year, we'll go this week to the SPCA to give their donation & to of course visit the animals...(CATS MAINLY...lol)...
I'm so proud of her, and her gift of care & concern for animals, and people too. This Saturday, we'll do our annual bell ringing for the Salvation Army kettle at a local store. She & I love doing that & it's been a tradition for several years!
So, cheers to helping others!!! The gift that keeps on giving!!!!
If you read this...I ask that you Pay It Forward...do something today to help someone in need..or just a random act of kindness..it's the BEST feeling!!
