Back to School - Pay It Forward Event
Recently I was able to join an event to help someone in need for going back to school. I was really excited to participate! I will be honest, with getting everything for my kids and getting them prepared for kindergarten and preschool I completely forgot about getting this done. I was happily reminded by a fellow blogger who is also participating.
I got to thinking about what I could do. We were given $25 to use to purchase school supplies and also a backpack(hopefully). We were then told to buy what we could and take pictures. You'll notice this post is quite lacking in photos. (I'll get to that shortly...)
Well I'll tell ya, I was none too interested in going back out to shop for more school stuff. My fellow blogger, I mentioned a moment ago, said she approached her son's teacher to see if there was someone in his class she could sponsor. I thought that was an excellent idea. So I was considering approaching my son's teacher. We were told we could approach it that way or go to an organization like Boys & Girls Club. I just couldn't decide how I wanted to go about doing this. Then my light bulb moment happened... I would get in touch with my church to see if we had a child in the church family or if they knew someone in the community I could help.
So in talking with my husband about it, he suggested stopping in to talk with them. That, my friends, was the best advice. I stopped in and ended up talking with our church's minister of music and minister of volunteer dept. We were brain-storming and turns out there is a young man in our church who is headed back to college in a week. He is an upstanding person and it's just him and his mother. He works to help his mom and then goes to school too. Would it be too cliché to say I heard angels? I knew right then that was what I was going to do. They said the best thing would be a giftcard for him; that this would be a blessing for him. That is the reason there are no pictures.
I certainly hope and pray this helps him with his back-to-college preparations. Maybe ease the financial burden just a bit for him and his mother. And I certainly feel very blessed to have been included in this pay-it-forward event! There's not much better than helping!!
