Something for you to consider

Everyone I think knows times are hard, even rich folk have to know something is up. I have found a nice kid that is trying to help folks more than rich folks do. I have the link to his youtube site, you can watch his videos and see for yourself the kind hearted, motivated, caring and hopeful kid that is needed a little help. Perhaps you are one that could help him, if not tell someone else or share the link in other places. I share this since he is interesting and you might indeed wish to hear of someone that is good hearted in this very difficult world. We can do and be the change that this world needs.

Maybe you wish to donate AND get a deduction!?

It has been a long time and I found the opportunity on a recent trip I took. Saw a billboard or road side advertising board and I thought it was perfect to share with you. If you have a boat or even a car you can check out this site http://www.boatangel.org/
I often find things that help those of us that are having a tough time on the lower end of the pay scale, however, this is one of those things that can benefit upper and lower ends of that pay scale. Better than having your beloved boat or car just sitting and deteriorating, you can donate it and get a tax write off. It will help even more by making that money you spent go really far. That is what I like about associations like this. If you don't have a boat I bet you know someone that might.

During this economy let us not forget our pets!

I do troll about the web and this one came to me. I belong to several groups and when I saw this I thought is very pertinent to the times. Good luck if you have pets, they are well worth keeping as a member of the family.

Below is a comprehensive list of pet financial aid-related organizations, listed alphabetically by state.
If your organization is offering assistance (such as pet food, discounted veterinary services including spay/neuter, temporary foster care, etc.) to individuals facing financial difficulties due to the current economic situation, please let us know about your programs by emailing foreclosurepets@ humanesociety. org (humanesociety. org)

So this is a good spot to start at. Remember also that if the economy has not touched you then I wholeheartedly suggest and expect you to donate to one or more of these fine organizations. Perhaps start with one of the ones on hold due to the slow down in the economy.

I hope you have a beloved family pet or two and that life is treating you and them very well, despite all we are going through.

Helping our service men and women!

I have come across a site where we can support or military men and women in keeping connected to us here at home. USO.org Check it out.
The USO is still working and I find it to be a real good way to be a part of this military action whether you agree with it or not. Our folks that are over there need us to help them make it home again. A small way to help them and reach out to help.

USO.org
Easy to contribute and a good idea since they are not any government, they are an estblished agency that provides even toiletries and things that the brave men and women need. Consider it and I hope the war!? ends soon!
