Nicole has a heart like a Colorado sky. She daily inspires me.
I never skip
a chance to eat out. Really. When you've lived on a budget for as long as I
have? Restaurants are a place of supreme bliss.
Recently, it
was our fellow abolitionist Rachelle's birthday (Happy 21 years, lovely
Rachelle!) and the family went out to celebrate. Nicole said to me over the
phone, "But all I could think about was those girls. All I could think of was
how $8 to eat could mean everything to someone else."
So she
convinced her mom to donate the money that she would have spent on dinner to her
Restore Jar.
Nicole said
this as a side note, and kept talking, but I lingered over the words, stricken.
There were tears in my eyes.
Really. Do
we ever think about how our tiniest sacrifices could mean the world to somebody
else?
