I'm not a recipient but I wanted to share some of my experiences because although my children and I were homeless and living in a shelter we managed to help those in need. We volunteered for Meals on Wheels during the holiday season and I believe this experience helped my children and I achieve a since of worth and meaning in this world.

I have not had the opportunity to be a recipient of Project 100. However, I donate my family gently used clothes, toys and shoes to Hati every chance I get. My kids love donating things that they don't play with any more. Some of there toys have been brand new and they have came to me and say mom we want to give this to the kids in Hati because they will like it. I don't have much money to give people but I always tell people about free things that I hear about or if I run across a good deal. I have helped close family and friends get free things like book bags, school supplies, Christmas items for there kids, cheap uniforms for school, free camp, free summer activities, money off amusement park tickets and free bowling. Sometimes you can still be a blessing to someone buy just giving them information that you know.

As the 100th recipient of Project 100, I was very shocked when I opened my door and found about a dozen people standing in my front yard with t.v. cameras, balloons, a huge sign, and a $100 for me!! Because I was the 100th, I also received an extra $100 Meijer gift card and a bag filled with goodies. I have been out of work most of the year, and just days after winning, was laid off from the part-time job that I had for only six weeks. Project 100 came at a great time, just before the holidays. As a way to give back to the community, my daughter is going to have a Charity Christmas party that will benefit 3-4 different charities. I'm very proud of her and hope that I have instilled in my children the importance of giving to others. Thanks again to Project 100 and Co-Op Services Credit Union, for your generosity in giving to others and creating a chain reaction. May God bless you abundantly for your good work! Sincerely, Kate
