Some of you know that I do volunteer work among the poor and people who have had less-than-perfect pasts. I've been doing this for about ten years, mainly among prisoners, ex-cons, recovering addicts, and others who have made bad decisions along the way.
Recently, though, I've been coming across more families who are in need of help. Most times I can help get them some assistance through the church, various public programs if they're eligible, or my own pocket. But once in a while I come across a need that defies any of these. When that happens, I ask for money on behalf of the needy party.
This is one of those times.
The basic situation in this case is that a mother of four had her abusive boyfriend removed from the home (good on her!). She then went pounding the pavement until she got a job (good on that, too!), but she won't be paid for a couple of weeks. I got her some food vouchers from a local grocer, but they won't last long with four kids. She also has other immediate financial needs.
If anyone is interested in making a gift -- I emphasize GIFT because you will not be paid back (at least not in this world) -- please PM me and I will send you a link to a page with a PayPal button and slightly more information.
There is no minimum.
Thanks,
-Rich
