It might be two dollars, it might be ten, it might be something you’ll never use again. But somewhere far from where we stand, a child is reaching for a helping hand. We spend a little without much thought, on things we need and things we’ve bought. But here’s a chance to spend and know that what you give can help hope grow. A meal, a book, a safer place, a little more light on a child’s face. So place your bid, and if you win, know something bigger just happened within. Because kindness travels farther than we see, across the mountains, across the sea. And maybe the item is what caught your eye but helping a child is the reason why. So bid if you can, give what you’re able, help put some hope on another child’s table. Because changing the world doesn’t always look big sometimes it starts with one little bid. — Jason Strickland The Art of Poetry Community
