Friends of Treasure The Starfish Story - Making a Difference

At Friends of Treasure, we identify ourselves with the starfish. Why? Rudd) STARFISH. Read the story below.

In 2006 Treasure became her school principle's (Mr. The old man awoke just before sunrise, as he often did, to walk by the ocean's edge and greet the new day. As he moved through the morning dawn, he focused on a faint, far away motion. He saw a youth, bending and reaching and flailing arms, dancing on the beach, no doubt in celebration of the perfect day soon to begin. As he approached, he realiz

ed that the youth was not dancing to the bay, but rather bending to sift through the debris left by the night's tide, stopping now and then to pick up starfish and then standing, to heave it back into the sea. As the youth explained, the old man surveyed the vast expanse of beach, stretching in both directions beyond eyesight. Starfish littered the shore in numbers beyond calculation. The hopelessness of the youth's plan became clear and the old man countered, "But there are more starfish on this beach than you can ever save before the sun is up. Surely you cannot expect to make a difference. The youth paused briefly to consider the old man's words, bent to pick up a starfish and threw it as far as possible. Turning to the old man, he said

"I made a difference to that one!"

This story has been circulated around the web in many versions, usually with no mention of author. It is said to be paraphrased from "The Star Thrower" by Loren Eiseley, 1907 - 1977.

Friends of Treasure has a new Friend. This is Scott. Scott has a rare condition called adrenoleukodystrophy (AMN). Scott's father contacted us for help. The family is quickly falling behind in their bills, rent etc..
Scott's family lives approximately 1 hour from the hospital where Scott has been for 3 weeks. As we all know it costs money to drive, pay parking and other costs associated with daily visits.

This family needs immediate help and our funds are low in the account. I am personally asking all of our Friends to help this family pay their past due rent in the amount of $2175.00. We have raised $500! We only need to raise $1675.00 :) God is Good

I pray that we can come together the way we did for Treasure and get this family some help. Click the donate now button to make your donation. All donations are tax deductible. All funds received will go straight to the property managment company in the amount of $2175.00. Visit www.friendsoftreasure.com for more info.

Thank you Friends!
