But as the girl wasn't in their circle of friends/classes, it was all rather abstract to them.

Yesterday she knocked and stated her school was raising money for the family of an eight year old girl born with holes in her heart. Sounds nice. Right? What's weird is that the children collecting earn prizes for various dollar amounts. ??? Collect a thousand bucks and the kid gets a video camera. She was quick to point that out as an enticement to me, I guess, and I could only question in my head just who gets the bulk of this cash at the end of the 'competition'. Nonetheless, I gave a generous $20 in the spirit of neighborliness.Darla M Sandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212760625717298992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-32160906295674859292018-01-26T03:11:18.665-08:002018-01-26T03:11:18.665-08:00It was a nice thought but the school could have or...It was a nice thought but the school could have organised it a bit better.<br /><a href="http://www.thatspurrfect.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">That's Purrfect</a><br />PL Keenorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960202724610314640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-23054193731483468862018-01-25T22:05:25.003-08:002018-01-25T22:05:25.003-08:00Cool that the school organised a moment for frien...Cool that the school organised a moment for friends to reflect and remember.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128774435912323133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-38282040634050487302018-01-25T17:39:51.473-08:002018-01-25T17:39:51.473-08:00It's so sad when a teen passes like this.
