See your impact

During our Christmas break I was cleaning out various spots in the house getting things ready for donating. The girls were off in another room doing what I assumed was playing. I went to check on them and saw about 8 bags full of various items--books, toys, clothes, pictures they drew, etc. I inquired as to what they were doing and Kate replied she was getting things ready to donate to her friends. My heart melted. She had a bag made for each of her friends at her babysitters and wrote their name on the bag of toys and books she prepared for them.
It was so cute. I explained to her while this was extremely generous, we should organize some things to donate to children that are less fortunate and do not have toys or books.
She really wanted to give the items to her friends, so I found this great organization called See Your Impact (seeyourimpact.org) in which you can make a donation and a picture ad story is sent to you showing who and how your donation help. I told Kate that we can make a new friend by giving them something they need.
We searched the site and she found something that she was interested in doing. We donated to the Boys and Girls Club and several weeks later I received an email with a picture of this guy, Joel (on the right). With a brief bio of him and how we helped
.
Feel inspired and see where your impact can be felt!!
