Enjoy This Weeks Post: “Giving Tuesday”, 12/1/20, presents us with an opportunity to offer some assistance to those in need. As you know COVID 19 has resulted in massive job loss and financial stress for millions of people globally. Many are in need of basic necessities such as food and shelter: https://hq.givingtuesday.org/
Another consideration is each year when people ask me what I want for my Birthday or the Holidays I offer them a list of places they can donate to. Simply put, I have what I need and although some offer truly heartfelt gifts, I would rather have the resources go to those in need. Here are some selections from my Donations List:
