Coins Add Up!

Dale Green dropped by the office leaving behind a jar of coins. He said, “I know people who have died from malaria.” Katie, in the office, was deeply moved. He went on to say he heard about Buy-a-Net and liked the organization. Thank you Mr. Green. In honour of those you knew who died from malaria, others will live. It’s acts of kindness like yours that inspire us.
