I know I shouldn't brag, and I hope it doesn't seem that way, but... in all of us, there is a little something more we could do to help another.
I fed the homeless under the bridges now for 20 years. I made 2 turkeys every year, I did so even after my husband died. All the trimmings. Only time he got angry at me was when I went under the bridges alone.
I have collected over 6,000 blankets for them. 500 pairs of boots and shoes. Numerous coats.
I have collected enough toys I made 50 xmas's for 50 families with 2 kids each for 6 years.
When my husband was alive we did over 200 families. He handmade toys, picked them up from the garbage days, we fixed them, I cleaned them, dressed dolls, fixed bikes... radios, you name it.
I have donated over 5000 hours at various hospitals including the VA where my dad was at.
I have fed numerous families on my block... by putting bags of groceries on their steps and leaving when I knew they were out of work and had kids.
My husband and I gave a total of 12,000 dollars during our marriage, plus we gave every year our income tax refund check, this was his doing, this is what he wanted. I gave out since his death over 2500 to 4 people who needed it more than me.
There are so many people like us Ian. I know many. So while in the US, do your part.
