Angel Network

I was watching Oprah Winfrey’s show on T.V. one night when it featured an episode about self-sacrifice, giving and sharing for the good of others. Angel Network was a foundation she formed aimed toward that noble cause and they were soliciting funds.

My heart was touched by an 11-year old boy, who for years had been saving all the he could earn through jobs like baby-sitting, etc., so that he could fulfill his dream to go to Disney World. But when the boy heard about Angel Network, he asked his Mom to donate all the money he was able to save to that foundation because he thinks that others needed it most that he did. So his mother gave his money and wrote Oprah what had happened.

What happens next was amazing. Oprah referred this story to Disney World officials who, in turn, rewarded the boy and his entire family an all expense paid two-week vacation (airfare and accommodations) plus pocket money to Disney World.
