I find joy giving a person a hand up. So for an entire year, every year I would put ten spot in envelope and send it a random address. Sorry I don't recall the year. It doesn't matter.
So I gave out $500 or so. I'm clueless
what any of these people did with there gift. My reasoning was
simple. To put a simple smile on there face.
This year I'll be doing something
different and hope for same result. A simple smile. This year my
local charities will be the “Hope House” which is a place they
give mainly out free clothing to the needy. But they give out other
items.
Not much in food line. I understand
they can make up a bag of food for two days for a family. There main
thing is non food. Such as toilet paper, paper towel, shampoo,
toothpaste, brushes and etc.
So today I took out some band aids and
donate.
I bought seven boxes. Plus I got four
and plan to keep them to give to put in my children stockings for
Holidays.
Yes I'm getting an early start on
“Christmas”
Like my Christmas gift they were also
bought at local mom and pop business.
I'm going though the alphabet, this pay
period was letter “B” and I bought Band-aids. Which went to the
“Hope House” Next pay period I'm thinking of getting either some
coffee and or cleanser, taking it to our local food bank. They don't
seem to have much support.
So every month I'll be take a little
something to the Hope House or local food bank.
Now could everyone do me a favor and
vote for my son and his wife dog “Boo”. She is in contest trying to get on
cover of Modern Dog Magazine. Please vote for BOO
Coffee is on

ReplyDeleteone of my resolutions was to smile more. it's amazing how smiling begets smiling.
ReplyDeleteYou've come up with some wonderful, unique ways to do some good and make strangers smile. I like that. I like your A,B,C idea. Clever. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI can't vote for Boo cuz they want me to set up an account and it is bullshit to expect me to provide a user name and password to just vote for a dog.
ReplyDeleteBill..I don't why they seem suddenly to ask people sign in.
ReplyDeleteWell Boo didn't make it and she could care less.
What a good idea to donate something every week for those who can't afford these essentials in our modern life.
ReplyDeleteFrancene..It every other week. My pay days fall that way
