The Salwen family was a fairly typical American foursome: baby boomer parents and teenage kids, always busy with school and extracurricular activities, living in a big, beautiful Atlanta home. Then, fourteen-year-old Hannah had a revelation. Seeing a homeless man in her neighborhood alongside a glistening Mercedes, she said, “You know, Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” What followed was an extraordinary decision: motivated by Hannah, the Salwens decided to sell their spacious home and give half of their profits to a worthy charity. Little did they know how much they would get in return.
