Impact

So often we think an individual cannot bring about much lasting good. That one person alone is not strong enough to bring change. Well, one example came today in an article about the late Ted Kennedy.

The article details the story of Kennedy working to get a family out of the USSR because of a very ill child, Jessica. Kennedy succeeded, and today Jessica Katz has committed herself to helping others.

Inspired by Kennedy's life of public service, Jessica Katz works at finding housing for the homeless in New York City. She says she has no choice but to look after those less fortunate than she is, because Kennedy proved to her how much it means, and that it can work.


What a legacy.
