In case you have not heard the story of the Starfish Thrower, here is our version:
Early one morning, a woman was walking along the sea shore after a big storm. The beach was littered with starfish as far as her eyes could see.
Off in the distance, coming toward her, she observed a young girl, bending down and throwing something into the sea. As they approached each other, the woman pleasantly asked, “What are you are doing?”
The young girl replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed
them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves. When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”
The woman exclaimed, “But there are so many! Can you really make a difference?”
The young girl bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean. She turned, smiled at the woman and said, “I made a difference to that one!”
At New Beginnings: The Betty Jane Morrison Foundation for Homeless Children, we understand that we can’t help all of the homeless children and families in North Texas, but we can help one family at a time.
