I was busy ‘digging’ about today when I came across this site ‘Twenty Five Days To Make A Difference’ and was absolutely blown away. It’s a blog by a little girl called Laura who, to honour the memory of her grandfather, set out to make the world a better place by making a difference everyday for 25 days.
This is an excerpt from her blog - “I challenged everyone who read my blog to TRY to do something every single day during the holiday season to make a SMALL difference in his or her world. I explained that whoever made the “most difference” in December would win a $25.00 donation to the charity of his or her choice on Christmas night. I SAVED ALL OF MY ALLOWANCE ($25) FOR THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, AND I WAS REALLY SURPRISED AND EXCITED WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE GENEROUSLY OFFERED TO MATCH MY DONATION (OR MORE)! “
Christ, what an inspiration to us all! Here’s a child using the internet purely for the good of others and asking for nothing in return. I’m not a religious person but God bless you sweetie.
I stand humbled.
Hi and thanks for writing such kind things about Laura’s site. I’m her mom–she’s out playing right now, but I’ll show her this as soon as she gets in. She’s running a contest right now, trying to spread awareness of her blog. So, now you are entered to win some cards she has made ; ). She’ll be linking to you as well. Thanks again for this…she inspires her old parents too!
Angela,
It’s not very often I’m stopped in my tracks but this time I truly was. You have an amazing child who truly is making a difference.
She is a credit to you and my respect goes out to you all as a family.
