Story 9. Gift of Hope
My mom always gives money to charities.
We get more and more calls to our home.
Letters are sent to mom, all of them with good reasons to ask for donations.
But Mom does not have enough money to meet all her urges to give.
She has to consider her choices carefully.
One day, Mom received a letter with the title, Gift of Hope.
The letter said, It's not money. It's hope.
It's the gift of hope for families in poor countries.
Mom continued reading the letter.
With $19, you can give three hens to a family.
The hens will lay eggs, which the family can then sell.
With this money, the family can pay for their basic needs.
Mom smiled as she read.
She made a plan to save money and send to this charity regularly.
