Believe Project: $100 to a friend whose family is struggling
Today's winner of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Josh McFadden of Elgin.
Here is an excerpt of his pitch:
"Hello, I'm a junior in high school. In my school I have a best friend who I've known for years. She was one of my first friends when I moved here from Ohio. She is the strongest person I know, but her family of five kids has a lot of struggles. One is unchangeable. They have a boy who has a genetic disease that leads to early death. The life expectancy is 14-18 years. Her parents love their children. Can you please consider my friend for this donation? God bless you.
