During the class fundraiser week, Maya and Evan volunteered to help. On Saturday morning, Maya went door to door on her street, asking neighbors to buy cookie boxes. She had practiced her greeting, but when she reached the first porch, she swallowed hard before knocking. Her voice trembled at first, then grew steadier as Mrs. Patel smiled and bought a box. Across town, Evan called local businesses to see if they would display a flyer. He had designed the flyer the night before, staying up late to choose clear fonts and bright colors. Even so, his hands shook as he dialed the bakery. When the owner agreed to hang the flyer, Evan let out a relieved breath. By evening, both students had raised money and were already planning who to ask next.
