Oprah's Big Give San Diego
San Diego Special Event Photographer Rebecca Helpling

This isn't directly related to photography or really related at all but I am still sharing because it is such a wonderful thing.
My little sister is developmentaly disabled and has found a wonderful community and learning center at St. Madeleine Sophie's Center here in San Diego. Recently 1o News teamed up with Oprah's Big Give to award a $10,000 matching donation to one of five San Diego non-profit organizations.
After picking 5 non-profits from all that applied and the community voting, St. Madeleine's won the donation! My little sister appears a few times in the video that aired on 10 news recently, you can see her packing lunches and again digging in the worm farm!
She is enjoying her newfound celebrity status :)
