A Simple Gesture of Faith

I'm just an eighteen year old kid, who came up with this crazy idea to raise money for an organization that I believed would do great things with it. Everyday the mailman comes and brings one or two more letters, with a check and a few words of encouragement. Big and small donations come in from people I know well, or barely know at all, but each donation comes from the heart.

The greatest gift one person can give to another is faith. Every letter I receive represents someones faith in me, in the youth, in the future. Everybody needs something to believe in and I am so fortunate, so blessed, so incredibly happy to be able to be that something for even a few people. Every single donation I get matters tremendously to me, and the children I will be going to help. I received a five dollar donation from an eleven year old today! How wonderful!... The support I am getting from people is making this whole campaign worth it, making my struggles bareable, and making my feet not hurt so much.

I will never give up my dreams of helping the world, and bettering the lives of those who suffer. To waste the gifts that people have given me- their faith, their love, their support, would be the greatest sin I could commit.

Thank you all, so much, from the bottom of my heart, whether you have donated money, prayers, or a simple gesture of faith...
