Getting Children Involved in the $20 Project!

It is important to us that our family's $60 went toward something or someone that personally affects our children.  Even though there are so many wonderful nonprofit organizations out in our community and world, we wanted our money to go toward a cause that would leave our kids with an emotional connection.  We noticed that at our regular grocery store, Barney's Harvest Foods, on Dishman Mica, that one of our favorite staples, Teri, is going through cancer and the store had a fundraiser bake sale and raffle to help raise funds.  When our kids found out that a person that brings such joy to us every time we enter the store is going through such a hard time, in less than 10 sec. the decision was made to donate the money to her.  The monetary donation is so much more than just a dollar amount.  It's that little piece of love, hope, and the feeling of "I can help her this way" that we want our children to not only remember, but carry on in their lives as they grow up.
