LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He
36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good
37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes
38 , and helped Alex and
39 of the volunteers. There were only three
40 at first, and we figured we might as well get started
41 just waiting for more to arrive. I held the

54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and
55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.
