I donated £500 to Great Ormand Street Childrens Hospital out of my bonus.

I am in uni and had nothing but pocket money to donate, but I have tried to smile at everyone no matter who they were, or how sour they looked. I also drove a mate in the wee hours to his sister's house.
Happy Christmas all!

So far this week:
Found a homeless man a place to stay, put a sex offender (who lived across the street from a playground) in jail and gave my boyfriend a first edition of The Great Rebellion.
Charity is a big part of my life. I give all year.

Bought some gifts and left them on the doorstep of a needy young Mother for herself and the two little children and got some neighbors to help pay for her utility bills for the next two months without her knowing where the money for them came from. Also talked her Landlord into giving her two months of Free Rent so she can get on her feet since her husband left her for another woman a week before Christmas. Also found someone to give her a job so she can work to get on her feet. Got the Church to have women offer to babysit for her while at work so she doesn't have to pay a babysitter for the next two months. Just got back from her house and left a letter unsigned telling her what is happening for her and the little ones. The Landlord called and said he went over there shortly before I was over there to tell her that she wouldn't have to pay the rent for Jan or Feb.that he was giving them that and some food for Christmas.

I lost a substantial amount of money in the Farepak hampers collapse, so I started working 12 hour shifts 6 days a week for the last 2 and a half months-I wouldnt let my kids miss xmas so it was worth it. MERRY XMAS EVERY1

I praise you for that.
As treasurer of my "Club", I gave a cheque to the childrens wards at our local hospital for £6000.
For toys & facilities etc.
I love giving, but don't like the government taking.
Oh, that is from the Masonic blokes, a much mis-understood organisation. We are fine.!
Bless you, & Merry Christmas.
Bob.

Well, actually I had other plans for christmas and I am in China right now. My roomie was so sad that I will leave for christmas that I decided to stay with her, so she is not alone. That made her very happy.

Well you are not supposed to tell people the good things you do. It says in the bible not to let the right hand know what the left hand is doing. I may have reversed it but you know what I mean. I did what I could with what I could afford to who I felt needed it.

Why wait for Christmas, I do what I can afford weekly for a local animal rescue centre, it's not much, but they are always pleased.
