In October, allU.S. Credit Union ran a contest called “Pay It Forward.” Each day between Oct. 17-30, the first 10 people to bank at allU.S. Credit Union were given $10 and the opportunity to tell the branch’s videographer how they would use the $10 to pay it forward in the community. A panel selected 10 finalists, whose videos were voted for on Facebook and YouTube. allU.S. Credit Union awarded the winner $500 to donate to the charity of his or her choice.
The winner was Chloe Brown and she chose to donate the $500 to Angel Tree!
She writes:
“Dear Angel Tree,
My name is Chloe Brown. I heard about your charity through K-Love. I loved how you guys were helping kids and showing them love through God. This organization means so much to those kids and their families. I wanted to donate so bad, but I was unable because I am a college student who makes very little. When I got to the bank one day they had a contest. It said they would give $500 to the charity of your choice and when I saw it, I had to jump on the opportunity. This was God telling me I needed to do this. I voted and so did my family and when I got the news it was the most awesome feeling. I knew that the money going toward Angel Tree was going to make the biggest impact on the kids’ lives and it was all possible because of God. I think what you are doing is amazing and I am so happy to be a part of it. I hope this money will help many kids in your organization and keep up the amazing job of spreading the news of God.
With much love: Chloe Brown
God Bless.”
Angel Tree is thankful for Chloe’s heart for the 2.7 million children of prisoners in America and for allU.S.’s gift that will help bring the Good News of Jesus’s love and Christmas presents to these kids this season!
