I am very excited to be a part of the BTS Backpack Pay It Forward Event! #payitforward I was given $25 to purchase a backpack and as many school supplies as possible to donate to someone in need. I will be donating my items to a little boy in my church who comes from a single parent home. I know that this will be such a special blessing to both he and his family!
This was also special to me because I was able to take my 2 boys along to purchase the items to donate. I want them to realize that it is much more blessed to give than to recieve and this was a wonderful teaching moment for them.
We headed to several stores to purchase our items. My total came to just over $25 and I was able to utilize sales and coupons for some really great deals!
