Let 11 year-old Jonathan Werner Inspire Your Children with His Story of Raising Money and Buying Christmas Gifts for 120 Foster Children

Let 11 year-old Jonathan Werner Inspire Your Children with His Story of Raising Money and Buying Christmas Gifts for 120 Foster Children

            I wanted to share another story about a youngster who has a huge heart to give!  He is Jonathan Werner and his story is so inspiring!  Please share it with your children to inspire them too.

            Jonathan’s father was a foster child for over 14 years and shared many of his childhood challenges with his son.  Jonathan wanted to give back to his community and became a Boy Scout.  He decided to raise money so that foster children would be blessed with Christmas gifts.  As a Boy Scout, Jonathan raised $11,300 by selling popcorn, with the assistance of his mother Serena.  He was, to say the least, an amazing salesperson!

            When asked why he worked so long and hard to raise the money, Jonathan said: “I just want to make kids happy for Christmas and let them know they are loved and appreciated.” 120 foster children were blessed by Jonathan’s generosity.
