Friends Without a Border

I promised myself that the older I got and the more money I made, I was going to donate it to those less fortunate. I am one to keep my promises and I always make good on them. I promised myself in college that I would donate blood more often after I graduate. I only dated blood once a year, but I wanted to donate more, but I was too busy and lazy... However, I made myself promise that I would do it more often! And as promised, I donated blood after graduation. I still have to wait awhile before giving blood again.

But anyway, I just donated some money to Friends Without a Border http://www.fwab.org/. I can't believe that it took Jim's death to remind me of my promise to donate to charitable foundations. So for whoever is reading this... if you have an extra dollar to spare, consider donating it. Sure, the American dollar is not as strong as the Euro, but an American dollar still goes a long way in foreign countries. Even then, there are those within the US who need help as well. We have a homeless problem that I am embarrassed and ashamed of. We still have people who live without electricity and running water. There are children who need a role model to look up to. There are schools in need of basic supplies. There are people who live in abusive homes and are in abusive relationships. There are public broadcasting stations (like PBS) that produce phenomenal shows every year, but need public support to keep the lights on.
