Another time we were on the road and she would ask to take sandwiches to people standing begging for money. Other times she would want to get scarves or gloves for those standing on the corners in the freezing cold. These are times as parents that our heart feel good and we know we are raising our kids right.
Like my daughter Francessca, I would like you all to
meet aother very special 8 years old who has a very BIG heart too---her name is
Nina. Nina is quite special. She is very talented. She writes her own
stories and songs. She helps create smoothie's and healthy food ideas with her
Mommy (Bernice Website) She helps her Mommy with her
little adorble brother and she's a great big sister I hear. She is a 3rd grader and an honor
roll student. And as you can see she is beautiful outside but she is also beautiful inside too.
One admiral thing that
touched me about Nina---she has a BIG, BIG heart. She has big goals and wants to do BIG things in life. At
just 8 years old, Nina started a fundraiser and is raising money so she can help build a
well in Africa. Over a billion people in Africa need fresh water. There is disease, lack of water, and a cycle of sickness due to this lack of water. Nina wants to help build a well to provide clean water to people but to do this she needs our help. So through the grace of God, prayers and kind people like you we can help make Nina's dream come true. Please click on this link below for further information---
