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!
