Please help if you can...
« on: November 06, 2008, 06:44:16 PM »

Today I was on the website doonenicething.com  This site is dedicated to highlighting charity activities and people who are making a positive difference in this country by doing nice things for others.  For example, they encourage something called "pay it back Monday", which asks that on Mondays you show kindness to others by buying for the person behind you in line, whether it be at Mcdonald's, or Starbucks, or even the grocery store. 

Anyway, I was there today and read about a charity drive they are doing now for some chidlren in KY.  The story just broke my heart!  So I wanted to post the link and ask for any help you can give.  No child in a country as prosperous as ours should have to go hungry!

Debbie Tenzer, the woman who runs this website is absolutely legitimate.  She has been on Fox news and numerous radio stations to promote her website.  Last year we managed a drive for the kids in Afghanistan who had no school supplies, not even desks!  The marine corps had requested 1,000 packets of materials, like pens, paper, small toys.  To date, the marine corp has had to keep three officers working full-time just to coordinate all the donations that have come in! 

So, anyway, I just wanted to put it out there, and hope that you all will be able to help, too.  Thanks!
