Gosh, sometimes all it takes is to tell someone (okay, the world, plus one) "Hey, We could use some help".
How cool is that?!
Ali, a high school student in Los Angeles, and the Community Service Representative for her school, gets it!
Today, we received a blessing from her and her fellow classmates.
Here's the deal as Ali tell's it in her own words:
We're having an upcoming assembly, where we'd like each student (500 students) to decorate a square to be made into a quilt or quilts.
My question is: if we decorate squares (whatever size you suggest), can we mail them to you for you to make into a quilt and give to the children?
Hey America! Ali GETS IT! Yeah Ali!
Kathy is coordinating the details, but just for you Ali to show your classmates and sponsors HOW we make use of GREAT IDEAS LIKE YOURS....see what we did with fun fabric for kids with pediatric cancer at this link.
The group made over 100 quilts for the Childhood Cancer Awareness Tree Lighting 2008 (click on these words to see the tree lighting) .
When you see the golden tree, remember, each ribbon on tree commemorates a child and their struggle against pediatric cancer.
Ali, today and everyday going forward - you and your classmates will make a difference in the lives of children who are truly OUR TEACHERS.
So America...Get on board! Become an Ali and help a kid with a pediatric illness or say "Thanks" to our wounded vets returning home from war.
THANK YOU ALI!
