Story

Have you ever read a quote that pushed you to do something you never thought you could or would do? My personal favorite is “To leave the world a little better than you found it. That’s the best a man can ever do.” (Qt. Paul Auster). With the few clicks of a button, you, yes, you, have the power to change someone’s life forever. I'm fundraising for World Villages for Children and The Sisters of Mary to help change the world. For 60 years, this organization has rescued and transformed the lives of more than 150,000 of the world's most underprivileged children in 14 facilities stretching across seven countries around the world. Through education, vocational training, and building self-confidence, the children discover new opportunities to overcome the cycle of poverty. Many of our graduates support their families. Thus, when we educate one child, we help whole families, and our impact reaches far beyond each of the 20,000 students currently enrolled. If you are searching for a way to make an impact on the world…help me hit my fundraising target by clicking on the donate button today. Please know any amount will make a difference!
