My Experience
Note: This story was submitted to the Rally Call Blog through the Center for Civic Engagement by Ivy Tech student Andrea Stafford.
I think too many times we think about how much money can we earn, and how many things can we accumulate, but we never take the time to think about others and their misfortunes. I know I can be guilty of this myself, that’s why I think it is great to volunteer and give back. I participated in a fundraiser to help raise money for a single mother with two autistic children. I made up some holiday gift baskets, which all ended up selling. The proceeds went to the mother to help buy her two children some christmas presents. I’m glad I particpated and hopefully the mother and her two children have a great christmas!!
