Easter morning, every child opens up a basket from the
Easter bunny.
Goodies ranging from chocolates, jelly beans, toys, and even
money.
Some of us take for granted waking up every day to a family
Or even the simple joy of having a stuffed bunny, all cuddly.
Mrs. Collentine and I decided to hold a second annual bunny
drive.
Our goal was to collect bunnies for the deprived.
Proceedings went go to children in foster care,
And parents who have lost a child and feel nothing but
despair.
Alexis, Ruben, Tyler, and I spread the word, doing the best
we could.
For two weeks we went around to homerooms convincing others
to do some good.
“Bring in a bunny for children in foster care to open up on
Easter morning!”
Every day I walked into classrooms with kids scorning…
It was definitely a challenge convincing people to do a good
deed.
All we were asking was to help those in need.
On the last day of the drive, we ended up collecting over
100 bunnies/rabbits.
Our school thoughtfully donated, something, I think, should
become a habit.
Good Friday, I had off from school, but 32 children were
counting on me.
I had to be at Children’s Aid and Family Services before
12:30.
Just one problem, the basket full of 38 bunnies didn’t fit
in my car!
So I had to drive my sister’s big Hyundai, which felt real
bazaar.
I safely made it to Robin Road with a simple gift.
Erica West’s reaction reassured me that what we did would
uplift.
The feeling I felt after dropping the basket off was pretty
emotional.
Thinking of how a simple stuffed bunny could be so impactful.
