Today I bought a new key chain that’s a bit more than just a key chain. It’s handmade by the son of a friend, and he’s been making and selling them to raise money to pay for a chicken coop. He sewed the ribbon onto the thick strap material and pieced together the metal parts himself. This is the kind of thing I can get behind as a girl wishing for a farm – not just a kid doing chores to save up money, but a kid being an active little entrepreneur with a chicken coop for his goal. $5 is, frankly, too little a price to pay for this cause and I might just send him a card with extra money because I do so love what he’s doing.
