$20.00 Richer

Macy has been collecting and saving aluminum cans for the last 2 1/2 months, and Saturday we took her stash to the recycling center to cash them in. She had 40 pounds of cans for which they paid her $20.00. She was so excited to have that much money that it was hard for her to quit smiling.

She has had several neighbors involved in helping collect the cans. One neighbor has even set up a box at his work for his co-workers to place their empty cans. We opened up a savings account for all 3 kids so they can start saving for college. Macy immediately knew where her money was going. She said, "This is going right to my savings!"
