people do care! people are good!! i just love a good story the media is forced to share. the good people of this world have raised over $537,000 for karen the bus monitor – and the donations are still streaming in!
this is karen:
karen makes $15,500. a year from her job as a bus monitor. she’s 68 and rides the bus to help keep the kids safe everyday. a few of the kids bullied karen and the video went viral on youtube. some amazingly wonderful person named max had the thought that karen deserved a vacation from her torment, started a donation campaign on indiegogo and in just over 1 day has generated over $537,000!!!!
yay for karen!!! yay for max! – love to both of you. . . .
i wonder if karen will take max on her vacation?
i am also wondering if max is single . . .
just some good news to start your weekend off with – enjoy!

The video was so painful to watch I have not been able to watch it all!! What has happened to this generation? It is a lost and dark generation. Sad. But then I look at my eleven year old granddaughter and see hope – she has such a beautiful spirit. Let’s pray for these children and hope they will be better people and learn from their actions.

no need to watch the video. i just focus on all the good peeps who wanted to make one stranger feel like she is a beautiful child of God!

Reblogged this on Writing Your Destiny and commented:
I was deeply touched by the kindness of strangers in response to bullying of a senior citizen. You may have heard of this story already, but in case you haven’t, want to bring it to your attention.
This is a compassionate use of crowdfunding as I had discussed in this blog earlier this week.
