 10 dollars a day
When they lose their job, most people worry about
how they’re going to survive. However, when Reed
Sandridge lost his job in 2009, he didn’t just think
about himself. He realized that other people had
problems too, and looked for a way to help them.
He decided to give away $10 to a different person
every day for one year.
Reed started his ‘year of giving’ on December 15,
2009. He did this in memory of his mother, who died
on that date three years previously. She always said,
‘When you’re going through hard times, that’s when
you need to give back.’ Reed knew he had a limited
amount of money, but the act of giving made him
feel good!
But how did people react when a stranger suddenly
offered them money? Some people were suspicious,
but most of them were impressed by Reed’s
Reading

2 Match the words with the definitions.

2 react b) with nowhere to live
3 suspicious c) pleased and surprised
4 impressed d) generous action
5 generosity e) to remember someone who
has died
6 homeless f ) unable to believe someone

generosity! When
he asked them
‘What are you
going to spend
the money on?’,
he got lots of
different answers.
One homeless man went to his favourite café for
a cup of coffee, while a young visitor from Russia
spent it on phoning her family.
Reed knows that 10 dollars isn’t enough to change
someone’s life, but he thinks it can turn a bad day
into a good one. More importantly, it can encourage
people to think about others before themselves.
Reed wrote a blog about his experiences and by the
end of the year he had a new job! Maybe this shows
that when you do good things for other people,
good things will happen to you!
