So I was listening to Star 98.7 in the car today, and the afternoon hosts were running a fundraiser for Tsunami relief. They got the Goo Goo Dolls to come to the "Star Lounge" for a private concert and they were auctioning off tickets to see the performance--top 12 highest bidders. The bids started small, $200, $300, $500, then a very young voice came on the air. It was Alexis, age 7 and a half, and she was bidding her entire savings, which came to $56.00. She was so sweet and earnest that I hoped they would just give her some tickets anyway. So I got out of the car and ran an errand, and when I got back it was almost time for the auction to end. A woman called in and bid $1000, and said "If I win, I want the tickets to go to little Alexis." And she did win, and now Alexis and her mom are going to the concert. It was so cute and heartwarming.
