It's Time to Brag a little (ok, maybe a lot)

On this wonderful and inspiring 12 year old girl, Sanjana, who heard about what Open Hand is doing with raising Crocs™ 4 Kids and decided to do something about it. Sanjana babysat, made bracelets and sold paintings (she's very talented) and raised money to buy 55 pairs of Crocs™. Is that incredible or what? This girl is a rock star to us and I can only imagine what she will be to the children who get a pair of the shoes she bought with her hard earned money. So... what have you done with your summer?




Of course the founders of Open Hand HAD to have our picture taken with our BIGGEST Croc™ donor so far! Hey, all of you out there - you are getting beaten by a 12 year old girl! It's time to step up your game :)
UPDATE: Check this out! Hopefully the start of many more! http://pointsnorthatlanta.com/impact-for-open-hand/ - since my original post about Sanjana she has raised a total of 125 pairs of Crocs and counting. She has more custom frame orders but school is starting so she's going to have to put everything on hold until winter break. One more little brag - so Sanjana's mom told us that her goal was 100 pairs and when she surpassed that goal her Mom said, "why dont we take that extra money and go buy you a new dress?" to which this 12 year old girl said she'd rather spend the money on more shoes for the children. So Alisha and I decided it would be super fun to buy Sanjana a couple dresses as a thank you for all her hard work. Shh... don't tell her. It's a surprise :)
