I’m loving the charity movement through the Blogosphere this holiday season. Having rather recently been a woman who needed more charity than she could ever give back, I will never again doubt the ability of a caring, compassionate community to turn peoples’ lives around for the better.

The blogosphere is filled with the holiday cheer of… bling… I mean… bells… Salvation Army bells ringing in the shopping centers… tons of gift giveaways for the holidays…

I’ve written often about how well and how kindly my community has helped me get on my feet. This article from The Capital, in Annapolis, Maryland, tells an extraordinary story of how an entire community pulled together to replace a single mother’s heater.
She had been sleeping with her two children under all their blankets […]
I love it when friends are successful. Kate over at Babylune has two more ticks on her scorecard. Before Christmas, she announced that she would buy a family in a developing country some Christmas gift to help them out, if only we would visit her page and get the stats up. Well, she bought a […]
This season, everybody needs somebody. My inbox is filled with articles from local newspapers from around the country–and the world–telling a family’s tale of hardship and need. Like this article from the Savanah Morning News, about a single mother who broke her ankle and is out of work. She’s looking for a little help with […]
