Shining World Compassion Award Recipient: Action for a Cause Now - Candice Payne

Today, we are going to travel to Chicago, United States of America, to meet the founder of Action for a Cause Now, Candice Payne. Action for a Cause Now is a charitable organization, through which Candice, and a team of volunteers, provide housing for homeless people. “Sitting at home looking at the TV, the news really kind of scared me actually, cause it was everywhere that we were having a polar vortex in this deadly weather, so I just knew I needed to do something, and the 30 hotel rooms was a start. That was a start of what I can do. I had no idea that reaching out to my social media network and people coming together was going to be able to help us to provide housing for over a hundred and twenty-two people for five nights. So, I just knew that I needed to do something, and you know, we saved lives that day!” “Dear Candice, It is with great admiration and gratitude that we present to you the ‘Shining World Compassion Award’ for ‘helping our neighborhood friends.’ This Award is presented in recognition of your untiring efforts to alleviate homelessness by building shelters to provide a dignified life for our less-fortunate displaced citizens. Your devotion combined with magical entrepreneurial flair is making a difference in the world – bringing joy and hope, heralding a new era of community empathy.” “May all involved and those you care for be blessed with all necessities and Love. With Great Honor, Love and Blessings in God’s Grace Supreme Master Ching Hai.”
