Always be helpful but be careful not to be used– that’s my message to the world.

It’s 12 : 05 PM on day 2487 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Romans 12: 9,  have breakfast and promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised to $1 600 only $10 900 more to raise  by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot .

This morning I realized my helpful nature makes it possible for people to use me -some people find out what I do (which they usually do from my very proud father even though I’ve asked him to please not tell anyone ) and it’s like they start seeing Dollar signs and a short while later you best believe some of them will show up at the door with an elaborate charity idea that they want me to get funding for – I’ve learned to politely say no and although I often feel bad about it I do so because I know  that 50% of people get into the non-profit sector either to boost their egos or worse to make a profit I refuse to be a party to that.
