Jessica Rocks for Timmy’s Fund: A non-profit that encourages creative fund raising for adults and kids to participate in — with all funds going to support families whose children are undergoing treatment for cancer. jessicarocks.org There are so many ways to give. A shut in neighbor. A women’s shelter. A soup kitchen. Finding a place to teach our children to care for those around us is not the problem. Finding the time to do it and making it intentional is harder, but the lessons learned through hands on giving are greater than most things we try to teach and are certainly something to be thankful for.
