The Ripple Effect of Giving

Thanks for listening to the latest From the Heart!


1. ROCKS TO RICHES

Caden sold rocks to help feed the homeless. What can you do where you are?


2. WHITE ENVELOPE PART 1

A wife's act of kindness grows into a Christmas tradition and changes an entire family. Nancy gave an inner-city student wrestling team new equipment in her husband's name. Then she explained this to her husband in a letter placed in a white envelope on the Christmas tree. Her alternative gift reignited his Christmas joy and inspired a new family tradition.

3. WHITE ENVELOPE PART 2

Another family read about the white envelope and started their own tradition of giving. This grew into a website and organization that continues to spread the gift of love.

Both of these stories can be found at http://www.whiteenvelopeproject.org/. Check out the website and see how you can do something!


4. FRANK'S FAVORITE STORY!

Second Wind Dreams grants wishes to seniors. The organization has helped many nursing home residents experience life again and revived forgotten dreams. Check out Flossie, who got her first motorcycle ride for her 100th birthday!

5. GOOD SAMARITAN CAR SALESMAN

Korry Holtzlander found a homeless person in need and took the time to help. As word of his kindness spread, others came to Korry for assistance. He became a source of help and encouragement, one person at a time. He has provided jobs and housing for homeless and former inmates and helped them get back on their feet.
