Police officers, firefighters, EMS, and soldiers in our armed forces deserve our gratitude. They need to know how much we appreciate them and their willingness to put it all on the line for us. Today,… Continue reading Day 22: Hero Appreciation

Day 16: Day of Change
Chips make chunks. Inches make feet. Pennies make dollars. In the end, the small, and seemingly insignificant, adds up to equal something much larger. The coins that sit in the ashtray of your car isn't just change. They are tools of change. Yeah, I went their. Your CHANGE can create CHANGE. Many nonprofit organizations impact… Continue reading Day 16: Day of Change

The Gift Of Sight
It is estimated that more than 153 million people around the world have uncorrected vision impairments. Most of these impairments can be quickly diagnosed and easily treated with corrective lenses.

The lack of glasses pushes millions of people… Continue reading The Gift Of Sight

Day 13: Fill The Red Kettle
It is Christmas time. Santa ho-ho-hos from his throne at the mall. Carolers sing fa-la-la-la-la while they deck the halls. Chestnuts crackle on an open fire. Children sing songs of a reindeer with a famous shiny nose. These are the sounds of the season. All are synonymous with the Christmas spirit. There is another sound… Continue reading Day 13: Fill The Red Kettle
