A Judo Instructor's Generosity

--by ceeceep, posted May 30, 2008

Last winter, my daughter became friends with a sweet little girl. Soon after they were friends, it became apparent that this child's family was having financial difficulties. She was always asking to come over and would tell us how much she wished that she could take judo classes like our daughters.

One day, at the beginning of the summer, my husband offered to take her along to a judo class to see if she liked it. She did! So, he spoke to the instructor and explained that she really wanted to attend the class but probably wouldn't be able to afford it. The instructor agreed to let her come to class as long as she liked. My husband picked her up, took her to class along with my three daughters, and dropped her off, twice a week for roughly 4 months. She loved it! When there was a little money for class, the instructor agreed to put it towards her outfit so that she could dress the part like all the others.

She has since moved, but being able to give her that opportunity was a real pleasure. We are so grateful to the judo instructor, because had he not been so generous, the little girl might have never had a chance to participate in the classes.
