It is wonderful what you do! My husband and I very rarely have any extra money...but we try and help others by offering them rides, baking and cleaning for the elderly people who live around us. We have become really good friends.

Thanl you all for all great comments they are all lovely. You see when my children were very young and we had no money I used to take them to the supermarket and actually steal the fruit to give them and I always said when the day comes I will send the supermaket a check and repay for all my doings. But unfortunetly they went out of business. Since my husband's death seven years ago I have been awarded his service connected disability and there fore I use it all on charity. Anyway anyhow and to whoever needs it gets it. I truly believe in giving back. I also have a son who has been out of work for over 2 years and I pay his mortgage so he does not lose his house. I pray everyday he should get a job and help support his family. One pray may help. GOD bless all.

How gracious of you. Not all can be as generous but there are ways each of us can pay forward. Just look for opportunities to give of your time/talents/finances. Late summer I try to find a parent or teacher purchasing school supplies and either pay for a few of them myself or give them a few dollars to help stretch their budget. (I rarely give anyone money outright. A sad lesson learned!)

You all should be congratulated each in your own ways are out to help others who are less fortunate. May we all continue to help. Thank you all so very much for all that you can do. Sometimes money alone does not do the trick volunteer, help someone cross the street, visit a home bound person, visit a nursing home etc. I also volunteer at the respite center and work with the alzheimer and dementia people. I do not feel that I help them but rather they help me. I love you all for everything you all can do.
