KOMO News: Woman moves into rooftop tent to raise $1 million

Posted on 05 August 2009 by Carol Schillios

From Seattle’s KOMO News:

“Carol Schillos has moved into a tent pitched on the roof of her boutique in downtown Edmonds, and she plans to stay there until a million people send her $1 each to benefit her charity, Fabric of Life.

The nonprofit group works to improve the quality of life for women and their families in poverty-stricken regions around the world with focus on affordable credit, education and health care.

But Schillos wants more than just a buck from a million people. She also wants each contributor to tell her how he or she is changing the world, however small the impact.”
