today we had a fancy VIP reception for a our big event.
8/9 of the girls on my youth advisory board were in attendance.
there were donation envelopes on the tables - it was a fundraising event.
one of the girls in our group, a beautiful individual who has spent the majority of her life homeless,
had $2 in her wallet.
without even thinking about it,
she filled out the donation slip, slid her bills into the envelope & sealed it shut.
none of the rest of us at the table
even considered making a monetary donation.
her actions & generosity
open my eyes
to the goodness of people in this world.
& make my heart
feel compelled do more.
