Ammon Walker, a BYU student, was walking through campus when a Choose2Give stand caught his eye. Choose2Give is a BYU event aimed at helping needy students through donations of other students. Ammon, a fully independent adult with no support from his parents, faced the temptation of his life when faced with the Choose2Give stand.
“I was debating between supporting someone I don’t know with my $5 or using it to be able to eat dinner for the next few days, and then I remembered the story of the widow’s mite,” said Ammon, who will face overdraft fees as well as possible eviction this week.
“I’m not sure what they’ll do with my money, but I’m sure they’ll put it to good use.”
