I wish that I could commit some $ to charity right now, but with dh layoff & things being too tight, I just am not able to --- but when they ask at a story or they are outside with their little bells - I totally donate $1 at a time... (actually dd likes to do it --- trying to get her into it now while she is young - she loves being part of the Christmas donantions through our local police - and I love that it goes to help people right in our own township!)jpkittiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042638265207370788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-33686539337284130382008-11-07T04:35:00.000-08:002008-11-07T04:35:00.000-08:00Wow.

I'm a bit ashamed for coming in late to the game but I am also very encouraged.

I ponder strategies (okay, more like games) to determine a budget for giving as well as tiny charities that appreciate the heck out of $20 donations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-18086545468544922602008-11-06T13:03:00.000-08:002008-11-06T13:03:00.000-08:00yup, i'm with Chicky! i *just* started making thi...yup, i'm with Chicky! i *just* started making this an "expenditure" 3 months ago, and i chose $25 a month to start....<BR/><BR/>you gotta start somewhere!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-33420224831092449172008-11-06T10:36:00.000-08:002008-11-06T10:36:00.000-08:00My charitable contribution is $10 every month to d...My charitable contribution is $10 every month to different charities.It makes me feel really good eventhough it is not that much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-68122230539255750002008-11-06T09:25:00.000-08:002008-11-06T09:25:00.000-08:00Love the sushi confession!

They're so little and tasty and you want MORE... I had sushi last night, but what stopped me from the more was stuffing myself with a dynamite roll (ca roll w/scallops & mushrooms in dynamite sauce), which is pretty heavy... probably good that I did that, or I would've ended up with a $90+ bill as well. ;)<BR/><BR/>Very lovely of you to be thinking about charity... the most I've done so far this year is to give to the presidential campaign. It's a start, right? I was thinking about funding some loans over at Kiva... And when I get a full-time job I'll look into giving more. :)Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02917160919955773944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-34908625830622880272008-11-06T08:10:00.000-08:002008-11-06T08:10:00.000-08:00Hi there-well done, a really good decision!

Even small amounts make a difference and in the current global climate, charities are thankful for any size donation!!Sharon Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792904322725966887noreply@blogger.com
