Stories of Kindness from Around the World

A Celebration With a Cause


--by purplecola, posted Dec 18, 2014
On Thursday, 24 October, 2014 my friend Michelle will turned 40 years old. Her version of a celebration? Asking for donations of warm socks, hats. gloves, etc. and books. Why?

Because she, along with friends (including me!) and family, traveledl to Cleveland OH where her daughter attends school at CSU. There we all met up and distributed the items to homeless folks near campus and the books, etc. to children in homeless shelters.

I am so blessed to have been a part of this birthday "celebration" and look forward to helping many more times, in many more ways!
