Nine Year Old Learns Lesson in Generosity

We’re accepting incredible stories from the streets! Here is one from Grace…

Grace, spent the afternoon of her 9th birthday playing her violin on a street corner in Marda Loop. Through the generosity of passersby, Grace raised $320.63 for the Canadian Red Cross in just under two hours. The eagerness to give was unbelievable, people were waving money out of their car windows, others would walk by and then come back a few minutes later, saying they went to the bank to get money so they could donate. One fellow came back twice to donate, bringing his wife the second time, who also donated. Grace has numerous schoolmates whose homes have been damaged by the floods, and was thrilled the money she raised would go to help people like her friends. There may have been no school that day, but my daughter learned an amazing lesson the afternoon of June 24, 2013
