At Try Change we recently came across a great story in the NYC Daily News USA Weekend magazine. The article highlighted the magazines 17th annual Make A Difference Day which was held on October 27th. In the U.S over 3 million people went out of their way to assist others in need. In the United Kingdom almost 600,000 people took part and in Brazil over 3 million participated in this worthy cause.Here's the story of just one such effort:
In Sinclairville, NY 13 kindergartner Daisy Girl Scouts secretly cleared the yard full of apples (Bob has an apple tree) of Bob Peterson who is a 88 year old World War Two veteran of all the apples laid on the lawn. They then made pies and treats from the fruit and delivered them to Bob.
The article closes with " For Peterson who lives alone and visits his wife daily at a nursing home, the treats-and affection-were touching"
"It just made my day"
To Troop 319 of Sinclairville NY- Thank You- we all can learn from you!
At Try Change we celebrate those who take the time to help others. We encourage everyone to find the time in our busy days to give back in some form. Even if it's just baking an apple pie for a veteran.
