Bella, my 9 year old who is such an amazing thoughtful person already (you can learn more about her here and here), came home from school yesterday with the most fabulous assignment. Her teacher won a pie contest at the local state fair and instead of keeping the money for herself she is giving each of her students $5 to do something for someone else.
This morning while talking to Bella about what she might do she told me her teacher read of few of the past essays from other years and some of the students were able to raise more money by asking family members to match the $5 donation. It definitely got my wheels spinning and I thought about the blog community…what if I wrote about this on my blog and she was able to get donation from all over? Other than she would be able to give much more with more money, she would also have something very interesting to write about in her essay.
Forgive me. I never do things like this…ask for money. Ever. But I thought it was such a great assignment and would love for her to learn how a mere $5 can grow and really make a difference to someone or to a community.
Here is what we’re asking…
Be apart of something and donate to this project. It could be as small as $.50 or you could match the $5 she was given or you could give more if you are so inclined. If you would like to donate please send money using paypal to afmphotography@gmail.com. For more information, please visit 99eyao website: Or see related articles like Be Careful!

Please include somewhere in your donation the words $5 project so I know it’s for this & your address (I know she’ll want to send a personal thank you). The catch, her assignment is due on the 28th so she would need you to donate as soon as you can.
Please please please do not feel like you need to or feel any obligation to donate to this project. I know we are all struggling right now and saving every penny with the economy being like it is. If you are unable to donate and would like to do something you could always spread the word by adding a link on your blog to the post. However, if you are looking for a way to give (and can) my I suggest this little project. It will not only help someone, but help Bella, and hopefully her sisters too, learn a great lesson in service.
Where will your money go?
She has not finalized what she wants to do, I think it will depend in the end how much money she receives. Here are two of her ideas she brought up this morning.
1) do something for animals, like donating something to the humane society
2) put together Thanksgiving dinners for families in need
3) buy flowers and deliver them to individuals living in an Old Folks home
I would love her to do something like that so she can see first hand the difference giving can make to someone, but in the end it will be her decision.
When it’s all said and done, I will post about the whole experience (included her essay) so you can see where your money went and the difference you made to someone in need and to a 9 year old trying to make a difference herself.
Thank You!
