Have you ever observed the roots of any plant that refuses to support its base? If you have, you know that the plant dies. But in a healthy plant, the roots seems to naturally understand that its support is needed for the entire plant to survive. So, it does its part to absorb all of the water and nutrients it can allowing the other parts to benefit. How is it that a plant can be more humane than humans, understanding that we are all a part of one body?
It's easy to complain about what isn't happening, but can we accept our roles in making it happen? For every hard working, honest, qualified, and dedicated person asking for help to achieve the American dream, there are others with the power to do so. I'm am a dream keeper who chooses never to kill anyone's dreams. Let's make Christopher William's dream come true. If we would just sacrifice the cost of one restaurant meal to donate that five or ten dollars, we would help him. Then, he could pay it forward by teaching someone else the art of shoe repair. I've put my money where my mouth is. Will you do the same. Anything will help.
