Gina 5551 Report post Posted June 4, 2012 [CENTER][CENTER][SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]â??The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation. â??Corrie Ten Boom[/FONT][/SIZE][/CENTER][/CENTER] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]In the past few weeks Iâ??ve seen many people donating money and their own time to a charity. I think thatâ??s beyond inspirational! Unfortunately, my personal life does not allow me to do this. However, whenever I can I do donate money whether at the cash in a store or supporting a program by purchasing goodies from children. Donâ??t worry I have a treadmill. ;) Doing simple things such as the ones mentioned never seems to satisfy me though. Therefore, beginning this week I will donate 10% of my donations to a local charity that I hold close to my heart. I will purchase the pre-paid visas and donate online. The client will see the whole transaction through. [/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Please always consider giving, it is such an important act of selflessness and love. Not to mention, does it ever give you a sense of peace and happiness within. In these cruel times, people roll up their sleeves and extend a hand to the less fortunate. This generation seems to be filled with a whole lot of hate and sorrow; turn on the news. The ten percent donation will be going on until mid-June. Afterwards, I will try to establish a more concrete plan on giving. If anyone has any ideas or would like to join this crusade of hope please pm me.[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri]Lastly, I would like to congratulate some of our prestigious members who have already donated their time and money to charities.
