Its almost a month until Christmas, with Thanksgiving around the corner. While my
situation has changed, the need for common good will has not. I was reminded of this thread and the time to recharge myself to do this by the forthcoming of the Kansas City Secret Santa.
I encourage each of you to think about what you can do to help someone else as we enter winter, and the holiday season. There are things you can do, that won't cost money.
1. Help someone plastic their windows.
2. I found the gift cards to the elementary guidance counselors very, very well recieved last year and plan on doing this again, and possibly recruiting some others to buy one or pitch in to do even More. If you have the means, please consider calling your local guidance counselor, offer them a gift card, to use to purchase coat-boots-shoes-snow pants for a struggling family. I guarantee every one of them will have an immediate idea of the best use. They can take them with a parent, make the purchase, and make sure it is used for its intended purpose.
3. I've joined a group in my area, and will be for the first time helping deliver some thanksgiving meals for 3-4 families.
I'm sure others have great ideas, that can be linked here.
I may very well try to build on the idea of the gentleman from KC and try the "$20 secret santa" someday.
