CLINGING TO HOPE

"In a gentle way you can shake the world" Mahatma Gandhi

The month of October came by in the wink of an eye. It is time again for Choose To Care(CTC) -(choosetocaresite.org), a nonprofit, to choose a

destination to bring transformative changes and fulfill its mission to provide a brand new pair of shoes for the child in need. CTC has been working for years through Donors Choose(donorschoose.org), also a nonprofit; that allows teachers to submit requests for resources for their classroom in public schools, nationwide.

The very kind and thoughtful teacher, Mr. Fitzgerald, from Westland High School, called his project "Shoes on the feet to best compete" How creative! He described the wrestling program for the grades 6-8 students as a way for the athletes to work through pain and discomfort, while learning how to become disciplined. The teacher stated that they need the right fit of shoe, to help protect against injuries, while also improving their performance, but many families are unable to make the purchase.

CTC agrees wholeheartedly that these students deserve to wear proper shoes. We can only imagine that the teacher and his students jumped for joy when they heard the good news that their wishes were fulfilled. As usual, CTC is filled with gratitude for the kind people who made this possible. Your support is vital and greatly appreciated.

CTC is also concerned about the deterioration of the environment and invites all our supporters to do their part, no matter how small, to help preserve this wonderful earth we call home.

In Health And Happiness!
