The Girls Scouts is an excellent
organization that began over 100 years ago. It has grown to over 2.7
million people consisting of 1.9 million girls and 800,000 adults. The
Girl Scouts focus on teaching youth girls important life skills such as
goal setting, decision-making, money management, people skills, and
business ethics. "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and
character, who make the world a better place" (girlscouts.org) and we here at TPKF believe they do just that!
Another
teaching from the Girl Scouts is about giving back to the community,
where scouts are given the opportunity to donate a portion of their
cookie sales to an organization of their choice. One girl in particular
has given TPKF reason to believe that the Girl Scouts are fulfilling
their mission of building brave girls! This courageous and confident
little girl decided to support TPKF with her cookie sales and donated
her portion to our organization.
With a goal and her mind set on
selling 300 boxes, this little girl set out to do just that. With
determination and tenacity, not only did she reach her goal of 300
boxes, but she sold more than double this number! She sold 640 boxes
this year which allowed her to have $64 to donate, where she chose TPKF
to be the recipient. Along with her donation, she wrote TPKF a wonderful
letter in support of our work.
Her letter reads:
"Dear Time to Put Kids First,
I
have choosen your charity to receive money from girl scouts. I chose
this because I think it is important to make it so kids can spend equal
time with both parents. Second, because kids can do more stuff with both
parents.
I sold 640 boxes this year earned $64 in donation money to TPKF.
My troop's check is enclosed. Please use this money to help other families have equal time.
Thank you
Sincerly
JK"
TPKF
is extremely grateful for the support of this little girl and we admire
her courage and support for our organization and cause! Her compassion,
heart, and desire for children to have equal time with both parents is
truly inspiring!
Thank you, JK, for your hard work, generosity, and compassion for our cause!
Sincerely,
Time to Put Kids First
