Georgia Man Changing Lives $1 At a Time
Anthony Talley from LaGrange Georgia has a heart of gold. Talley started a program called "$1 Thursdays" which is intended to find a person in need every week and raise money to help them.
This program was inspired by a conversation that Talley was having with a high school friend. “I noticed she didn’t look like herself,” he said. “Upon us talking, she told me some things she’d been going through, and all I could think about was “how could I help her?”
This propelled Talley to start a fundraiser on Facebook to help the friend and the result was the raising of $120! “Most people think that’s not a lot. But when you’re down bad, that could be everything,” he said.
That was just the start as Talley ended up helping raise $1,400 for a man battling Lupus, $2,220 for a local barber who was battling Covid-19, and $8,000 for a man whose family's house burnt down! In total, this $1 Thursdays program has helped raise of $20,000.
We all need to challenge ourselves to act and think like Anthony Talley does. If we all do, imagine the world we can create!
Be the change you want to see!
