Believe Project: $100 to buy snowboots for students in need

Today's winner of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Laurie Gustafson of Palatine.

Here is an excerpt of her pitch:

"I would use the $100 to purchase snow boots for some needy elementary schoolchildren. I supervise outdoor recess for an hour each and every day. Many of our students cannot afford snow boots, and without them they cannot play in the snow. They must stay on the shoveled blacktop and watch those who have boots frolic in the snow.

"Being able to supply boots for the children would certainly bring smiles to their faces and to mine!"

• The Believe Project mails a $100 bill each day to someone with a good idea for how to use it to do a good deed for someone else.
