Our school got a thank you from the children that were helped and I felt happy.

My Bat Mitzvah raised over $100
Wed, 11/05/2008 - 08:18--StacyI turned 12 a year ago and my mom knew Mrs. Laurence who runs the One People One Heart (OPOH) program. As part of my Bat Mitzvah commitment, I asked guests invited to my celebration to honor me with a donation to OPOH. They did just that.
My Bat Mitzvah was blessed with wonderful family, friends and celebration and we also were able to celebrate our coming together to give to those in need in Israel.
That was a real extra blessing!

It was amazing how fast the boxes filled. But, just today, we had enough money to go into this website and choose a Kids for Kids story from the "Children's Causes".
