Believe Project: $100 to help single mom
Today's winner of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Judith Graff of Arlington Heights.
Here is an excerpt of her story:
"I nominate the single mother of my grandson. Jonette is the sweetest, kindest, most generous person I know. She supports herself, my grandson and her mother on a small salary. While she could, she has never insisted that my son pay support because he's a recovering addict and has no job. She has, however, insisted that my grandson see his father every week and has never denied him access. The stress on her is unimaginable ... $100 would allow her to at least buy a present for her mother or Christmas dinner."
• The Believe Project is awarding $100 each day in December to a different person with a good idea for how to use the money to do a good deed for someone else.
