Do you want to make a difference for once in your life?
Have you heard of www.DonorsChoose.org ? It’s a website where Poverty Schools list their needs for certain supplies for their classes/students. I learned about the website on Channel 15 News tonight. It just touched my heart to hear how tough our teachers and schools have it. Such a crime I feel to let our schools suffer.
When you go to the site, look towards the top right and click on the blue link> See Projects. Please do click through a few pages to see what simple items they are requesting. You can make a big difference by donating only $45. You can even select your home state.
Whoever came up with this idea for such a website, kudos to them. With all the education cut-backs, teachers had to get creative I suppose. What a grand idea to come to us, the public, for help.
For the holidays coming up, think with your heart, don’t spend foolishly, why not give to something like this. And as always, let us not forget to occasionally donate to our local Humane Society for those beloved pets.
Sincere Thanks ~ Renene

Every little bit helps… I like to donate a sack of dog food at the Mesa and A.J. dog pounds each time I get paid. I’m sure it sounds pretty stupid, but I just recently learned that they need food all the time at the local pounds…. somebody needs to provide it…

Jerry, I had no idea about doing that kind of donation. That is wonderful.

Did you know… if you shop at Petco, you can tell the cashier at time of checkout to round up your total to the nearest dollar, & any extra cents gets donated. Example: your total is $7.56, tell cashier to make it $8.00 total. This is another small way to make a big difference.
