Good Find Friday: Project Night Night

I was so charmed to run across a story about Leah Gawal earlier this week.  Huffington Post named her their “Greatest Person of the Day.”

Leah is the Michigan Community Coordinator of “Project Night Night,” a charity which gives homeless children packages containing a stuffed toy, blanket and book.  As a mother of two, Leah had some sense of the challenges these children faced.  “Everybody knows if you have crummy sleep, you have a crummy day.  And for these kids who are already facing so many challenges…they need a chance to be successful.”

There’s been a lot of chatter on the political front this week about people feeling entitled, and whether some people deserve additional help during their lives.  The team at Project Night Night are a great example of people who saw a need and decided to fill the gap.  Inspiring, no matter what side of the aisle you sit on.  Well done, ladies!
