Our Pay It Forward honoree this week is Annie Rowell from Camden. She makes cards for people in the nursing home. Here's how she is paying it forward.
“She is an amazing example of a Christian woman that I admire very much. She always thinks of others before she thinks of herself. If there is someone in need, my mother is the first one to say ‘what can I do? I’m gonna do this to help them.,'” said Rowell’s daughter Stephanie.
For about five years, Annie Rowell has been making cards of inspiration for people in the nursing home. “The outside people that went in there were always commenting on the cards in there so I said why not? That’s why I continued,” said Rowell.“Employees at the nursing home have told my mom what a smile it puts on their residents faces there,” said Stephanie.“I had a niece in a wheelchair with spina bifida and she did them until she passed away. But I continue to do them and I started to stop because I have numbness in these three fingers, sometimes it’s hard writing. Somebody told me ‘no, don’t.
“That drive to do the works of the Lord is what drives my mother and it’s so admirable,” said Stephanie.

Why Female CEOs Gave Themselves Pay Cuts While Male CEOs Took RaisesI am a global CEO, entrepreneur, business leader, linguaphile, philanthropist, feminist, and mother. After living, studying, and working in five countries across the globe, and quitting a particularly nightmarish job, I decided it was time to chart my own future. Driven by a passion for language and cultural diversity, and a vision to break down boundaries, forge new paths forward, and connect people and businesses across the globe, I founded my dream company out of an NYU dorm room. Today, that dorm-room startup is the world’s largest privately-owned language solutions company, with over $500 million in revenue, 4,000 employees, 11,000 clients, and offices in more than 90 cities around the globe. As for me, I’m still fueled by a passion for breaking down boundaries – not only geographically, culturally, and technologically – but also in the workplace for other entrepreneurial women working toward their dreams and building a better tomorrow.
