A Giving Spirit

I received an email from a woman the middle of May. She is retired but felt the nudge that she should do some volunteering in her community, she just wasn't sure what. Unexpectedly, a paid position fell into her lap and she knew this part time job was where she was meant to be. She hadn't planned on the extra income so she was writing to tell me she would be sending her first paycheck to Lasting Imprint. Her adult son was born with a congenital heart defect, and she believes the work that we are doing in the hospitals as well as the support to the families means everything.

I was literally blown away and didn't know what to say. What a generous heart! What a giving spirit. We've all heard that one person can make a difference in the world, but we always assume that one person will be somebody else and not us. It's almost as if we think we aren't capable or worthy enough!

Thank you Betsy! Your kindness will make a difference in the lives of many and is a reminder that any gift of the heart can change the world!
