How do you know you have a friend for life? I knew the moment I met Jenn for the first time in my hometown that it was going to be one of the days I would cherish forever. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> I instantly had tears in my eyes when we met in the hotel lobby that Friday night.

It was a miracle in itself that I didn’t get lost traveling downtown late at night. I was determined as ever to meet this incredible lady so I had to find a way. Thankfully my phone was fully charged and the GPS was working properly that day.

You see, thanks to DonorsChoose, I was introduced to her kind ways as she always likes to “pay it forward” and declare her innocence. I’ll let you decide for yourself where her innocence stands. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein"> Let me tell you why my friend Jenn has the most beautiful heart. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz"> (3/8) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Bücher" aria-label="Emoji: Bücher">

She is always there to chat during the midnight hours when everyone else is fast asleep (including her husband Kris) and will make you laugh until your cheek bones are sore. She works very long hours being a K-12 librarian, but is always there to listen and encourage. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👂🏻" title="Ohr (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Ohr (heller Hautton)"> (4/8) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Bücher" aria-label="Emoji: Bücher">

She is dedicated to her students as well as a forever loyal friend that devotes her life to kindness. Today is her birthday & her students need two book trucks so she can safety sanitize & recirculate books so her students don’t miss the chance in reading an amazing story. (5/8)

I would have to recommend The Giving Tree. This children’s book makes me think of Jenn as she is always “giving” & emphasizing the need to help others. She gives with her whole heart and expects nothing in return. She is truly a selfless person & that’s why I love her.

I would love to pass on kindness to her students especially on her birthday. If you would like to help celebrate friendship, please consider supporting Jenn’s DonorsChoose project today.
