100 pennies

Have any of you ever taken the cushions off your couch and found a bunch of change hidden in the cracks and crevices?


When I was younger and in need of money for the penny candy aisle at our neighborhood market I would always go down to our basement and lift up the cushions on my dad's couch.  It was rare if I found less than $1.  Do you know how much candy a kid can buy in the penny candy aisle for a dollar?  I would walk back home with a little paper sack full of candy- it was heaven for a 10 year old kid, those are good memories for me.

One dollars worth of change got me a whole lot back then, but one dollar can still do a whole lot these days.  I'm not asking you to go buy a bag full of penny candy- though I don't know of any stores that even have penny candy anymore.  But I am asking if you would please consider donating one dollar to Ben Wiley Jr.  One dollar from each of us would add up in such a way that we could be a help to Ben Jr's family and the medical expenses they incur with his EB.  One dollar, one Buck for Ben.  Most people have spare change hanging around their house somewhere- 4 quarters, a few dimes and nickels, a jar filled with 100 pennies.  Just one dollar. 

 

We've made it easy for you to donate too.  Look to the sidebar on the right side of this page- at the top is a "donate" button from paypal.  Just click on that and you'll be redirected to paypal's secure website.  If you already have a paypal account the donation will be super quick and easy, but you can still donate through paypal's website even if you don't have (or want to get) a paypal account- it only takes a minute.

One minute- One dollar- One Buck for Ben Jr. 

I have good memories of those penny candy days, but we can all make new and good memories by helping and being a blessing to the Wiley family. 

Please go now and donate your Buck for Ben Jr.

Thank you,
Julianne Smith
