[2020·长沙四校模拟]Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100, 000 to build a home for a low­income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.

Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a collection of pennies. “I instantly felt the urge to help out with that” he said. Josh set a fundraising (筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100, 000, but it didn't shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers, and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.

Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30, 000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19, 000.

“I didn't care how long it took me” Josh said. “I would raise $100,000.” With three weeks left, a company called Josh's house, offering to donate $18, 000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $124, 000 before his deadline. “The_momentum_just_kept_going,_and we decided to do more” he said. “Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.

Next year, the 17­year­old will head to college in British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. As an 11­year­old kid when starting fundraising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true.
