Writer Betsy Franco read about the Do 1 Thing project in People Magazine and felt compelled to do her 1 thing to help.
She did it unassumingly, without any fan fare had we not wrote to inquire about the unusual amount she donated, $412, we would never have know. Betsy writes young adult novels, compile anthologies of teen writing, and write picture books and poetry. “Whenever I receive money, I give a percentage to an organization I care about. Since I’m totally into helping teens, I noticed your article in People Magazine and intended to donate to you. I recycled the magazine, thinking the article would be online. When I couldn’t find it, I scavenged through a big bin of recycing to retrieve it. I really wanted to donate,” she said
We share this with you because every doing 1 thing really does make a difference. The funds Betsy donated will be used to help print, frame and travel the “Young Faces of Homelessness” photographic exhibit.
Here’s to you Betsy!!!
