Dash of Hope

"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.

Recently I 41 about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by 42 , nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named "Hope".

Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 56 the story of this caring young girl who had 57 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 58 money to help make Hope's dream come true.

Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 59 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 60 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!
