Believe Project: $100 for granddaughter with leukemia

Today's recipient of a $100 bill through the Believe Project is Bobby Xhilone of Elgin. Here is an excerpt of Xhilone's story:

"I would like to give $100 to my daughter and her husband.

"Just before Christmas, their almost-2-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. This little girl will have many difficult weeks, months, even years ahead of her, facing multiple chemo treatments, blood transfusions, spinal injections, and more.

"The 'Believe' $100 will really help her parents afford some comfort for my little granddaughter."

• The Believe Project is awarding at least $100 daily in January to people with good ideas for how to use the money to do a good deed for someone else.
