The really cool thing is, she doesn't want these things for herself. You see, we received the World Vision Gift Catalog in the mail the other day and my 8 year old started paging through it. Sitting at the kitchen table, she turned over a paper plate that was sitting next to her, grabbed a pencil, and started writing on the back of the plate. I used to do the same thing as a child when the JCPenny catalog arrived. I would look through it and write down all the toys that I wanted. My daughter, however, is a much better person than I am.
Hope, my daughter, wrote down -
5 ducks $35
5 rabbits $95
family fishing kit $50
fishing pond $200
5 fruit trees $30
That is her list. That is what she wants to GIVE other people, kids around the world, so they may have a better life. The next thing she did astonished me. I was waiting for Hope to ask me for money to buy these items, but instead she informed me that she is starting a "Booster" campaign.
"What's a booster campaign?" I asked.
"Dad, you go to Booster.com and design a t-shirt that people buy and then booster gives you money. I saw it on a commercial."
And that's exactly what she did. Here is Hope's Booster page. She did it all: the t-shirt design, the description of her campaign, everything. The only thing her dad did, was to hold the camera as she made this video.
I love her so much. She has a great heart and I feel so blessed that she calls me daddy. Check out the page and buy a t-shirt. It's the giving season.
