I try to do what I can to help other people, but even with my big heart, I'm not sure I could make this leap! Bravo and amen to this family for being so kind, so committed and so brave.
Driving through Atlanta one day, Hannah Salwen noticed a luxury car parked next to a homeless man. It struck her that if the owner sold the car, there would be enough money for a less expensive car AND food to feed the hungry man. That's where it began.
But the Salwen family didn't decide to sell their car. They decided to sell their mansion. I know, we all would love to have a mansion to sell... but would we all give half the profit to charity, to the tune of about $800,000 to be donated?
We don't all have a mansion, we don't all have a fancy car, and some of us don't have much at all in the way of "worldly possessions" to donate or sell. But if this family, sparked by a 15-year-old little girl, can make such a big jump, certainly makes me think twice about what I want and what I need. Certainly worth reflecting on, and certainly Good in the News.
