Olivia has had her piggy bank for about two years now, the first time it was filled to the top we talked about what she might want to do with the money. We talked about buying something for herself and maybe buying something for some one else. When we talked about the fact that some kids and families in the world (and our immediate community) don't have everything they need and don't have the same kind of comforts and resources that we do, she was set on spending the whole lot on them. We went on our first shopping spree (supplemented by mom and dad), let a three year old wield a wad of cash, and paid for a small apartment's worth of towels and bedding for one of the only family shelter's in San Diego county.
She's since decided that her piggy bank will strictly be a savings for the shelter. Every night when she says her prayers she prays that the "boys and girls can go to Costco and go shopping for the things they need." She's even tried to explain to me that since she's a "really big kid" she can "do super important things like build a house or something for people." Her persistence and passion to make a difference even as a three year old is inspiring. So us adults are taking note and doing our part to support. We feel the pull to come alongside families in our community who are doing their best to keep their own families together and find stability during the hardest of seasons.
Every parent knows that even with every resource under the sun parenting is hard. We constantly worry about whether our kids are getting what they need. Lets make sure that a roof and dinner aren't on that mental list for them.
We're launching Olivia's Piggy Bank to help her stretch her reach to friends and family who might be interested in joining with her mission to help others. Her "pie in the sky" goal is $100 (the biggest number she knows). We are looking forward to building a longer term relationship with the shelter and hope you'll consider joining us too!
