Boy Sends Charity Shoebox Across The World, 11 Years Later It Comes Back

Perseverance

Instead of taking the declined request to heart, the girl decided to be strong and persevere.

No one achieves what they want to achieve from sitting back and not taking charge. Not giving up proved to change her life forever.

Trying To Make The Connection

Two years later, in 2011, Wolfe received a friend request once again from the same girl. This time he was intrigued and accepted the request. The girl’s name was Joana Marchan and she was from the Philippines. Now Wolfe knew that he had no friends there so he proceeded to ask her how they “knew each-other”.

Joana told him about a shoebox she received as a child from a charity drive called, “Operation Christmas Child”. She also told him about the photograph he had placed inside the box.
