Monthly Donor Highlight
Michael Maine
Consistent Supporter Since 2014
Michael Maine has been a consistent supporter since we were founded in 2014. In order to make his giving convenient, he has set up monthly automatic donations. Michael also created our first Donor Tribute by funding a Backpack giveaway in honor of his beloved mother, Gladys Maine.
"My mother was raised by a schoolteacher and education was very important to her. Helping children is something that was always close to her heart."

Tommy Tales
Somebody (Thomas Washington) ran out of checks, so he was going to go to the ATM, transfer money from one account to another account, then transfer to another account, do the hokey pokey, and turn himself around to pay his cable bill. So unnecessary in this day and time. I just called and paid over the phone.
He then wanted to give me the money when the new checks came. I refused. He insisted. I refused. We compromised with him, giving it to the Nan Washington Global Wellness Foundation. He is so happy and grateful that so many people are being helped in his wife’s name. Thank you all for your ongoing support!
