ALLIE GURGEN’S LESSON IN LOVE!
Last week, Miss Allie (KC), pointed out a homeless person on our way home. Sad to see him on the side of the road, she said wanted to help him. I had no cash. But if she wanted to help, I said, we could do something. She suggested we host a lemonade stand to raise money. I was touched and happy to facilitate. We discussed pricing, where proceeds would go, and the concept of giving "change" back (her math skills are coming along! ). Armed with lemonade, tea, and cookies, "proper" signage and a table, we set out. What a day. She had her first customers before we were even set up. For 90 minutes, she held signs, called to everyone in sight, and learned what an Arnold Palmer was.
She noticed people ignore her, laugh, and be genuinely touched. One gentleman
drove by in a golf cart. "I KNOW he will hear me, mama - he has no doors!!"
Never have I been prouder of this spunky, compassionate, determined, 6-year-old. As
we tallied the earnings, she ran to get her own coin bag, asking if we could donate,
too. Allie earned $103 to donate to the Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida!!
She couldn't believe it. "Mama, they're gonna be rich!" My heart, overflowing with
love for who she is becoming, felt as though it would burst. We may not make them
rich, but I am blessed to say, I know we sure are.
~ written by her mom, Barbara Lozano ~ Allie donated $206 to the Coalition for the
Homeless! For more information to help or donate: www.centralfloridahomeless.org/
