In 1992, Jeff and Kristi Leelandś infant son, Michael, needed a bone marrow transplant. It cost $200,000 they didnt́ have. Thatś when Dameon, the most picked-on kid in the junior high where Jeff taught, emptied his bank account and handed Jeff twelve $5 bills to help save Michaelś life. Other students rallied behind Dameonś $60 donation of hope--and a community rallied behind them. In less than four weeks, they raised over $227,000 for Michaelś life-saving transplant. Kids will do heroic things when they have heroic things to do. Out of the Leelands ́experience came Sparrow Clubs USA, an organization of kids helping kids in medical need. Each child helped by Sparrow Clubs faces a battle for life, and yet each of these sparrows lives with a vibrant courage. Taking you into the communities that became sanctuaries of love for families in need, "A Thousand Small Sparrows" will revive your hope in the Father heart of a God who cares. This is a book about the power of compassion that can change the world-one sparrow at a time.
