We try to teach our kids to give, to help others and be charitable.
Recently we re-instituted the 25% of money you get goes to charity rule. We decided to use that saved money to help a local disabled boy, who at the age of 2, fell into his swimming pool and nearly drowned. The family asked for various care giving items including pillow cases. They use multiple pillows to help him sleep comfortably.
While we were shopping, Valla came up with an idea. Instead of buying pillow cases, she wanted to go buy "kid boy" fabric and sew pillow cases for him. And that's what we did. She did an awesome job (with a little help from Grandma) and I am so proud of her. I hope she remembers how good it feels to give, help others and be charitable.
