Story

  One afternoon after a hard day of work Sofia came to her  house looking for her tennis gear. When she opened the garage closet all her and her son’s equipment fell on the floor. She was really mad because of all the mess her son had made in the closet the day before, when he was looking for his basketball. She immediately stop looking for her equipment and texted her son to come straight home after school. After she calms herself, she realized that they didn't need most of the equipment and decided to talk to his son about it. When he came to school they talk about it and decided to do a garage because they didn’t really use most of their equipment. The mother prepared a table in front of the house for the garage sale. The equipment was organized by the different types of sports. She decided to donate the remaining equipment to the Salvation Army. The next day they prepared a box with the equipment that was left and donate it. After a few days, they received a letter that said a thank you for their donations. They felt so good that they decided to go around the house looking for more things they didn't need, and instead of doing a garage sale to earn money for themselves, they will send it completely to charity this time.
