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!
