Dear leighanna,

We’ve just selected your kindness idea as the winner for this month’s HelpOthers.org contest. Congratulations!

What this means is that we’ll send you $100 to support implementation of the delightful idea that you shared with us:

My Girls….

I am teaching a self-esteem class for at risk girls aged 8-12. I currently scour clothing pantries for the girls, because it’s hard to work on their self-esteem when they have on their dad’s shoes, or clothes with stains on them. I would use the money to purchase a new clothing item, or two for each of the girls.

To make this happen, we can either send you a check or PayPal the money to your email address. Please let us know what you’d prefer and send us the appropriate information. (Note: for those who are not based in the United States, PayPal is the easiest option so you’ll have to create an account, unless you have one already.) If you have any questions, do drop me a note and I’d be more than happy to answer it.

With this unconditional gift, we hope that you are able to create ripples of goodness in your community. And we hope to hear some stories of your experience, and if possible, perhaps some photos and videos too!

Thanks for your partnership in spreading a little bit of kindness in the world, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
