This year as I team with mormon.org for their #lighttheworld campaign, I am putting out a call to our youth to help each other. There are so many stories of high school students who are in need of all the things so many of us take advantage of. I am excited to see how these youth show up and serve each other.
Basically I want the youth to think of the things that each morning they do to help themselves feel clean, confident, and ready to learn. Go through your closets and find the shoes you have that you will never wear, that would make someone else excited. Buy an extra set of your favorite makeup or deodorant. Bring a few sets of your favorite pencils. Whatever you think someone your age would enjoy during this holiday season and throughout the year. We want to stock the officers closets at the High Schools so they have supplies on hand for students who need help feeling part, and ready to learn each day.
If you can imagine, a student who has to borrow their mother's shoes to come to school each day might feel a little self conscious walking into a room full of strangers. Those little things can and will make a big difference in their high school experience, and in tern can and will make a difference in their future.
You can make a difference, and I know that these young people are going to remember the love they are going to feel as we bring together hope for some of their peers.
If you are a mother or father in the Boise area and could use some of these items for Christmas time, please email me and we can get you set up with Officer Gomez in the days after the collection day.
Thank you to those of you who have offered to send in jewelry, and makeup, and the extras you have laying around. I am thankful for your willingness to help our efforts to light the world.
Side note! With my Standing Beautiful project, I have become a makeup artist for Maskcara Beauty and have loved putting quality makeup on peoples beautiful faces the last few months. It has brought me joy in so many ways.
