In 1987, Illinois teenager Mike Hayes needed nearly $28,000 to attend the University of Illinois, but his family could not afford the cost. Instead of abandoning his dream, he came up with an unusual idea. He decided to ask 2.8 million people to each send him just one penny. Hayes wrote to Chicago Tribune columnist Bob Greene, who shared the story in his nationally syndicated newspaper column. What started as a small idea quickly spread across the country. Soon, thousands of letters began arriving at his home from strangers who were moved by his determination. Many people sent pennies exactly as requested, while others mailed dollar bills, checks, coins, and personal notes encouraging him to continue his education. The response became so overwhelming that bags of mail and donations reportedly filled the local post office. By the time the campaign ended, Hayes had raised enough money to pay for college and still had about $1,000 left over. He later graduated debt free in 1991

Este fue el proceso de la biblioteca 👇! El jueves 21 inauguramos un espacio lleno de ilusión: una biblioteca barrial que arrancamos desde cero. Gracias a mi sueldo como diputada (lo aclaro porq no es populismos 🙄no es con tus impuestos )ahora los chicos tienen un lugar para leer y recibir apoyo ,No me enorgullece que esto sea necesario. La política debe generar condiciones para que todos tengan oportunidades, y no dependan de gestos como este.
