Hello -- My name is Kathi. Just about two years ago, my boyfriend, Richard, and I saw the movie Pay It Forward. We were deeply touched by the story and message that was told. I believe we saw the movie just before the events of 9/11. We decided that we could help to heal the hurt by Paying It Forward ourselves. We were in the process of starting a business. We decided at that time that we would make it a nonprofit organization instead of a for profit so that we could help people and do acts of kindness by spreading the concept. We started our organization just under a year ago and have been working to spread the word. We are self supporting, as we have not received our 501(c)(3) status. We have both put our life savings into this organization in hope that our dream will come alive. We utilize the fashion and beauty industry to support our efforts by fundraising at various venues in Southern California and Nevada. It is a concept that we believe in very strongly and feel that just a little kindness from people will help to start the healing process that this nation needs so deeply. There is much to tell and it would be an extremely long email if I was to go on. I will say that we have done many acts of kindness in the past year. Some of these include: feeding the homeless on the streets of LA, provide meals to less fortunate families in the community, and donated a car to a family that had no transportation. We were even able to help a destitute family that was loosing their home to foreclosure by providing a place to live at a price that could be afforded to them. These are just a few of the things we have provided to the community. Our goal is to open a home at no cost to those families who live there, so that they are not separated by the state system due to lack of ability to care for their children. We work with women on their professional image and provide the training required to enter the workforce so they can become independent and care for their family. We have developed a website that explains the concept of Pay It Forward and invite you to visit and learn about our organization. Your story has touched us deeply and we encourage others to see the movie if they have not. I hope this email brings warmth to your heart, as it has to me just writing. Sincerely, Kathi Sherman and Richard Richey Pay It Forward
... Help To Heal
