Just look what you’ve done (11 Photos)
Ten years ago this week, a little girl with the brittlest of bones and the biggest of hearts pushed a button on a mouse that published a never-before-seen WordPress site at chivecharities.org. Crowded around John Resig’s computer, with the Venice Beach Boardwalk in the background and the Pacific Ocean gleaming just beyond, all eyes at this moment were focused on the glowing screen as the page refreshed. Zoe Lush saw a picture of her own face looking back at her. Moments later, she saw the first donation to Chive Charities materialize, followed by thousands more in a matter of mere minutes. The first page of the first chapter in the book of Chive Charities was being written before our eyes.
