ENERGIZED AND PERSISTENT

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" J.R.R Tolkien

It is August and the sun has been harsh, in my part of the world. This has not stopped CHOOSE TO CARE(CTC)from getting on the road to fulfill their mission of providing a brand new pair of shoes for the children in need.

We heard the call from the very sincere teacher, Ms. LeDoux, who wanted her Grades 9-12 students at Burkeville Junior Senior High School, Burkeville, Texas, to participate in cheerleading without the heavy burden of the cost of this activity. She requested shoes because she thinks they deserve a new pair. This loving and committed teacher did her research and found an affordable pair on Amazon, she said.

Through Donors Choose(donorschoose.org), which is a classroom funding site for teachers, she was able to make this request for her students. We applaud Ms. LeDoux for investing in the lives of these precious children.

CTC strives to end poverty, one pair of shoes at a time and make every attempt to create lasting change in the children's lives. Thank you donors for contributing to our mission. You have truly helped us to give care, love and hope to these students.

CTC also uses its platform to advocate for Mother Earth. Each of us is responsible to keep this place we call home in good shape and give a helping hand in its preservation, no matter how small.

You Have Been A Blessing!
