Been meaning to do this for awhile, but just haven't had the time to see straight enough to put it into action. But now I do. And so I am.*
What I want to do... diary a month... for a next year... each dedicated to a different charity.
I'd set up one of those fancy online giving pages (suggestions on how to do this please) and match whatever the community gave up to a thousand dollars a pop.
That way I can turn my 12K into (maybe) our 24K.
I've got 3 charities that I'd like to highlight, and I figure I'd go looking here for the other 9... which is what I'm doing... right now... right here.
So, if you have a moment (yes, YOU with the blue sox and green ear muffs)....
...tell a story... about you... about someone close to you... about someone you've never met... about something that moved you... and point me to the solution makers... the folks with a plan... the people who can make you/their/our world a better place.
We'll fill out the roster and then we'll go to work.
I don't know WHEN the country as a whole will start supporting the other 99%, but I'm wondering if... at least 12 times... we could (in our own little way) do it here.
So, that's my query.
Who needs help and why?
(*Truth be told... lack of time is always just an excuse. It's really about making time and sometimes it takes the premature death of a friend's mother to inspire one to put one's fantasy football team in the b.g. and get to work. But... more about that later.)
BTW... anyone know anything about Just Giving as a potential portal for this sort of thing?
