nicely for their grandchildren. Since we tithe
what we are given, we needed to find a use for
some of the money. My grandparents were
not religious. However, they educated all of
their seven children and all of my siblings and
I were educated. Therefore, helping others
get education would be an appropriate way to
use the dedicated money.”
