Chapter 8 - The Challenge
Sophie began to excel in school. She was brilliant at math and had a heart for those who were struggling. One day, she came home with a girl from school who was clearly wearing clothes that were far too small.

We launched an initiative. We bought stores, remodeled them, and opened "Sophie’s Closet"—a place where children in need could get shoes, clothes, and supplies with dignity, no questions asked.
Sophie was there every weekend, helping other kids find the right fit. She was changing lives, just as I had once changed hers.
