Never
underestimate the power of an individual to make a difference!
You
guys, get ready to cry.
Please stop and take a moment to read this- it
will brighten your day (after you cry first).
Karen is a bus monitor in a
small town in NY- whose frequent bullies (mid school boys ugh) were
caught on camera tormenting her. A twenty-something aged gentleman in Canada stumbled across the video (it had been uploaded to YouTube by a student) and wanted to do something for Karen to show her how much she is loved. He
created a funding campaign on one of those microfunding sites with a
goal to raise $5k to send her on a nice vacation. He
raised over $120k (and the campaign is still active), brought the national spotlight on Karen (who has
since made an appearance on the Today show) and bullying. It's been an
amazing spectacle to watch.
