Orange Coast Magazine - POOF HighlightedPOOF received the most thoughtful donation in October 2021. A woman named Lauran Landson created a project for her 60th birthday.
"I read an article about a woman who, for her 70th birthday, sent $70 to 70 people with a request to give the money away. By the end of the day, I had drawn up a list of 60 names and drafted the letter. I already had the stationery and stamps; I just needed to send my husband to the bank for the $60 that would be included with each letter." "One day, a post appeared on my neighborhood Facebook page. “Lauran is celebrating her 60th birthday today (I’m not spilling any secrets, she put it out there for the world to know!). Her birthday wish is to have $60 donated to charity, but I want to go for a higher number. So I’m offering 60 packs of baked goods at $6 per bundle of four. All proceeds will be donated to Power of One Foundation, a nonprofit with a focus on hunger and poverty in Orange County.” Mindy’s $60 paid for half of the ingredients, barely scratching the surface when you think of the time she put into baking and packaging 240 cookies. But because of her efforts and the generosity of my neighbors, she raised $600, with a separate donation made for an additional $120." Thank you Lauran for being the starfish thrower. Our communities need more people like you. |
