Meet Ayelet2<\/strong>
\nMany people come to Beliefnet’s message boards looking for hope and solace. In 2006, a member of Beliefnet\u2019s Mormon community was upset about having a disability and not owning a car to get around. Enter Ayelet2, a regular poster in the Mormon Debate and Mormon Issues Boards. Ayelet2 not only posted encouraging words, she organized an interfaith Beliefnet fundraiser to get the member a car, which she then drove more than 1,000 miles to deliver.
\nBut that wasn’t enough for Ayelet2, who goes by Cyndi when she’s not in Beliefnet-land. Another Beliefnet member posted about how he was disabled and trying to raise his 7-year-old daughter. He also didn’t have a car. Ayelet2 was up to the challenge and repeated her amazing deeds, raising money for his vehicle.
\nWhat Others Say About Her <\/strong>
\n“Ayelet2 took hold of the spirit of giving,” one Beliefnet member commented, “and inspired a community that is sometimes at odds over religious differences to come together for the sake of a fellow human being…twice. And I don’t doubt that she would do it again, if she saw a need. What a friend to have!\u201d
\nWhat Ayelet2 Has to Say<\/strong>
\n“Jesus Christ told us the two greatest commandments are to love God, and to love one another,” she says. “I try to act upon these words — to walk the walk, and not just talk the talk. That can be a downright hard thing to do, but I am grateful when I encounter those who provide me the opportunity to learn how to become a better, more charitable, person.”
\nMore About Her<\/strong>
\nWhen Ayelet2 isn’t astounding Beliefnet posters with her generosity, she is an avid traveler, bike-rider, and hiker. She also cultivates the relationships she’s formed on and off line with Beliefnet members. “I regularly correspond with people I’ve met on the Mormon boards — both members and those at odds with the Church — who live across the country, and across an ocean. I’ve even personally met a number of them. And we are truly friends. How cool is that?”
\nIf you want to see Ayelet2 in action, she regularly hangs out in the Mormonism discussions<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
