The First Domino

Another dream I have is to find a family in need and help them to completely transform their lives. It would go something like this.

I have found a family that is having a lot of challenges and have decided to help them out. The family has a husband and wife and their three children--two teenagers and an eleven-year-old. First I find a suitable place for them to stay and pay all their rent for the first year. We also go shopping and get all the things they need for their home, from sheets to furniture to kitchen items (and food, of course!), not to mention a new wardrobe for each family member. It is so fun to do this, and to listen to the excitement in the childrens' voices! We take a few days to get everything they need, and of course check out some local restaurants and take in a movie or two.

After they are all set up, I contact a good friend of mine who knows exactly how to help people become self-sufficient. He starts working with the parents and their children to develop more confidence in themselves for a few weeks, and then moves to helping them pinpoint their dreams and interests. After this, my friend shows the family how they can have an income based on those dreams and interests, and that's when it gets really exciting! Of course, I check in with the family regularly to see how they're doing, and I love to see the spirit in each person's eyes as they tell me how things are moving along. Needless to say, I get so excited right along with them!

When the family is completely self-sufficient, my only terms for repayment is that each of them do exactly as I have done for them when the time is right. The parents can each do it for a family and each of the children can help a friend, and I will consider the debt repaid--as long as they make the same repayment terms to the people they help. What a marvelous domino effect this will make!

The cool thing is that there is no limit to how many people I can personally do this for because I HAVE A ROOM FULL OF MONEY!
