Recently my girls came to me asking if they could participate in the 5k fundraiser for a little girl Mckenna in our neighborhood who has Leukemia for the second time. We talked about it but the price was a little more than I could afford in order for our family to participate so I said to the girls "hey, why don't you guys sell cookies and earn the money for us to participate".
Long story short, little did I know that my contribution would be $60 in supplies and making 51 dozen cookies! What my girls did to raise money for this sweet girl was nothing short of amazing. They took a few afternoons last week and knocked on doors in our neighborhood. They showed no fear, not hesitancy, and actually looked forward to selling the cookies. When all was said and done they earned about $175 dollars which is awesome for a few days work selling $3.00 bags of cookies. Most of all they learned a valuable lesson about service and helping others. Truthfully, our whole family learned a valuable lesson. Thank you Clairissa and Abigail for you great example to our family.
