1 Making a Difference is a positive blog that demonstrates that one person can make a difference through giving of gifts. I want this to be a blog where people feel happy or moved when they read the stories and are motivated to give and get involved. Finally I want to stop being focused on self but strive to make others and their needs a priority. I want to challenge others to do the same. I believe 1 person can make a difference!
