I got 200 extra dollars last week for working Thanksgiving and gave it all away |
|
I gave $100 to a local charity drive that buys gifts and necessities for foster kids, and I gave the other $100 to a charity in my hometown in Vt. that buys warm winter clothing for needy kids.
I could have really used it to pay bills or buy gifts for my kids but this was a lot more fun. :)

1. That's really wonderful. |
|
Thank you. On behalf of whomever benefits from those gifts. :hug:
I hope a lot more people do this too.
In past years I always did. This year I can't. I don't have a job or any income anymore. :(

I have always given away approximately 10% of my income to different sources, and all of a sudden I cant afford to, and it kills me.
I miss being able to.

4. It's such a tough year for so many people |
|
I'm not in the best shape I've ever been in financially - my husband is laid off and I'm pretty much carrying things - but I'm a lot better off than some people and I know the charities are having a harder time meeting their goals.
It feels good to help. And I understand why others just can't. :hug:

2. That is the spirit. I hope to follow you in that direction and give to the needy. |
