Miracles Do Happen!… What A Story!…
We have all heard the sayings “miracles do happen”, “have faith”, “don’t give up” and so on… They are all true and that is why I would like to share the following heartwarming story with you.
Before I do, I would like to say that I’m in awe, blown away and very proud to be part of an amazing internet marketing community called CarbonCopyPRO. This incredible and generous community made it possible for a 19 year old student, named Jessica Phillibert to continue with her college studies next month.
Here’s the story…
Jessica’s mum, Melanie Phillibert – my good friend and fellow marketing consultant, needed $18,384.26 to pay for Jessica’s new semester by 15 December 2009.
A brilliant student, Jessica has been on full scholarship for the past 2 years. However, with the economic meltdown, the college couldn’t award her any scholarship. And she didn’t qualify for the US financial aid as she is Jamaican.
The Phillibert’s couldn’t get a loan and failed to raise funds for Jessica’s tuition. And with the payment deadline fast approaching, it appeared that Jessica’s academic dreams were rapidly coming to an end. However, the Phillibert’s prayed to God incessantly, trusting that He would make things happen.
So what happened next?…
Every option had been exhausted, but Mel had faith that their prayers would be answered somehow. A heartbroken mum, Melanie asked the college for a payment extension and then sent an e-mail to Jay Kubassek, the CEO of CarbonCopyPRO (the internet marketing company that taught me, Melanie and many others how to market online).
The first miracle in the story is that Jay even read the e-mail, considering how busy he is and that he gets a lot of donation requests on a daily basis. Jay was touched by the sincerety of the request and the boldness of the heartbroken mum. Determined to do whatever it takes to make sure young Jessica gets enrolled for classes, come the first week of January, Jay launched a fund-raising campaign straight away.
In no time, he e-mailed all the top producers with our company, asking them to chip in to help Jessica’s cause.
Thereafter, Jay stepped out on the VP of Leadership John Jackson’s “Wake-up” Call and asked the community to visit his blog to read about Melanie’s story in detail and make a financial contribution if they so desired.
Jay and his wife, Jamie, kicked it off with their own donation… $3,000.
The community’s response was incredible… In no time, gifts started pouring in from $10 to $1,000 all day long – from top earners and “newbies” alike.
In less than 24 hours, the funds were raised and wired to Jessica’s college. 78 members contributed an average of $235 each.
The Phillbert’s are in awe, speechless and will treasure this experience for a lifetime - I’m sure.
“Do something for someone today, with the knowing that there is no possible way for them to repay you”. This is John Jackson’s favourite quote that he uses to end his “Wake-up” Calls. This quote was put into action and the Phillibert’s wishes were granted – amazing!
That is why, today more than ever before, I’m so proud to be associated with CarbonCopyPRO. I’m proud to be part of a community that showed love, generosity and kindness to a young college student they don’t even know.
What a great feeling!… 
While many large companies teeter on the brink of collapse and governments are printing money they don’t have in order to support bloated, ineffectual spending bills (and devaluing all existing money in the process) there is a group of people in this world who are in ascendancy.
I must mention that I heard about all this after it had happened and was not one of the individual donors. I still take pride in our company’s spirit of giving and the effort as a whole. Well done everyone!
