This coin is being shared in loving memory of Chad Anthony Ross; a beautiful soul needed far too soon by God. Please pass it on with acts of kindness to celebrate his life.

Coin is currently in N.E. Seattle, WA. Will be on the lookout for opportunities for folks who will appreciate it.

This coin starts its journey with Takeo. It seems fitting because you are graduating high school and starting a new journey of your own. We wish you all the best. Do good and fly on!

I gave this coin to Rhonda Schock Forgey

Gift from Brice

Today my sister gave me this coin for my birthday. I will be taking it with me to Mexico in the fall where I work with a large group of volunteers who do amazing work there. Selecting one is going to be hard.

The most wonderful person gave me this coin. My Mom, Mary Pat Smith. 💜We lost my Dad to cancer in 2015 and it still breaks my heart to this day ~ and will forever. I made a promise to him in the hospital. I would continue his volunteerism at hospice, specifically at Camp Francis; a bereavement camp for children. My Dad lost his parents at age 7 and wished there was a camp like Camp Francis back when he was a child. He helped so many kids at this camp. It’s evident still today, as many of the kids he helped process grief volunteer to this day. A saying that reminds me of my Dad & something I want to carry on:

The Boy and the Starfish
A man was walking along a deserted beach at sunset. As he walked he could see a young boy in the distance, as he grew near he noticed that the boy kept bending down picking something up and throwing it into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things into the ocean . As the man approached even closer, he was able to see that the boy was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time he was throwing them back into the water . The man asked the boy what he was doing the boy replied, “I am throwing these washed up starfish back into the ocean, or else they will die through lack of oxygen. “But”, said the man, “you can’t possibly save them all, there are thousands on this beach, and this must be happening on hundreds of beaches along the coast. You can’t possibly make a difference. “ The boy looked down, frowning for a moment; then bent down to pick up another starfish, smiling as he threw it back into the sea. He replied, “I made a huge difference to that one!” ~ author unknown

Let’s make a difference for one another 💜❤️ Jamie Lavinder 6/14/2019. On my way to my 5th Camp Francis, where a little bit of magic happens in the Montana mountains.

Please share your story, the next owner of the coin. I am excited to read about the people that will possess it for awhile and pass on the goodness this world has to offer. 🦋

I bought 6 of these coins and will handing out 5 of them to my siblings at my parents' memorial service. I hope they travel far and wide.

2 Corinthians 5:17(ESV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Hoping to spread the Gospel of Jesus by sharing this coin with a sister in Christ. May the love of Christ be on the lips of all who see this coin. May the Lord be exalted to the ends of the earth! Psalm 145

This coin is being passed on to a person who lays her heart out for everyone, she is considerate and hard working. I know she will find joy in passing this on to someone whom she feels deserves it!

Monarch Frey was the first to give me milkweed. Asclepias asperula, or Antelope Horn Milkweed.

My stepson, Aidan, was the impetus behind my eco career, and he has brought tremendous joy to my life.

I got this coin from my math teacher for always being kind to my classmates. I’m grateful to be part of the butterfly effect!!

My little niece has brought this coin to the west coast of Ireland!! Its currently in a little village called Ballylongford in Co.Kerry!!
