Just 5 minutes a day, month or year can change lives. All it takes is 5 minutes of your time. Through the crazy of our lives, I took 5 minutes a day for a week to use my voice to speak for others. I have to do something, anything to help foster kids get the bags they deserve. The one thing that I could do is contact every bag company I can find to see if they would be willing to just listen to what I have to say.
In the age of social media, we are so close to those who can help. We are one message away from reaching someone who may be able to make a difference. So, every day for a week I messaged 1 or 2 bag/luggage companies. Many responded with a message that sent me to their giving department to apply for a grant or donation, which I did, some did not respond at all. But one company's founder/CEO responded right away with a great message and asked how he could help.
All it takes is one. One person to see you, to hear you, to be so touch that they reach out and ask how they can help. Biaggi Luggage not only responded, but took action in a big way! They will now be supporting Duffels4Kids.org on a continual basis throughout the years by sending the perfect bags for these kids. I couldn't be happier with the result of just a little effort.
I challenge you to find something you can be passionate about and take 5 minutes a week to try and make a difference. Never be afraid to ask for something, you might actually get it! If you need help or ideas you can always contact me through Facebook or replying to this post. I am always willing to help get you started.
