Amazing Story of Perseverance

This is a great story...you hardly hear of stories like this. For the past year my mother has been doing community work with disadvantaged children and boy are they disadvantaged. The state of Washington has a program that allows NGOs along with a Public School to apply for grants so they can fund their after school programs but apparently a lot of school don't care to or bother. Anywho, my mother had to literally threaten the school/district with litigation before the principle of the school would agree to apply for the grant along with the NGO she volunteers at. She's one tough lady and she has aspiration to run for school district board of director.

Old people with free time, they're a dangerous bunch.
