In the article, it briefly describes the organization KidSpirit. KidSpirit gives children a place to socialize, interact, work on academic work, and work one-on-one with mentors. Students are welcome to volunteer and participate in activities to help children year long whether it may be in summer camp or afternoons in classrooms.
It started out with one student working at KidSpirit, who decided to donate a portion of her paycheck back to KidSpirit so it could go towards the organization and help provide the club with supplies they need for children. Suddenly, 40% of the staff signed up to donate a part of paychecks to the children of KidSpirit. As each student donates money, whether it is $10 or $5, everything is used for the benefit of the children and allow them to do more activities.
I found this article interesting because many college students are already in need of money and try their best to save, yet many people still donate as much as they can to others in need.
Would you donate money to the organization even if it meant taking out $5 from your paycheck?
I would definitely donate $5 of my paycheck for a good cause even if i could not afford it. I think that supporting kids is a great way to help out and pitch in to make a difference in someones life.
ReplyDeleteYes I would donate part of my check; sometimes I scrape by till my next check comes, but I still look forward to getting my next check because it gives me a chance to make that small donation to a place that may need it. Such as Liam's $6 club at OHSU's Doernbecher Children's Hospital.
