Another calendar year has passed. It was a year that saw year 2 of our project come to an end and year 3 begin. Over the 52 week period we worked with 45 new nonprofit organizations and causes. Each and every week the experiences were new, eye-opening, heart-warming, and life-changing. We met unbelievable people who… Continue reading A Life-Changing Year

It is a day where we gather with family to create memories that will last a life time. For the second year, Christmas Day is the culmination of… Continue reading Day 25: Gift of Love
Day 23: Lottery Ticket
Day 23 was all about the lottery ticket. We spent the day giving out $1 lottery tickets to complete strangers. We loved seeing the stunned looks on the faces of each recipient. In most instances they were at a loss for words. They just smiled and said thank you. We hope that each ticket was… Continue reading Day 23: Lottery Ticket
Day 9: Food Donation
Day 9 was originally planned to be a day in which we helped the homeless. Due to our crazy schedules, we decided to swap Day 9 with Day 16. So today we made a food donation. We donated some non-perishable food items to a local church food pantry. This particular pantry focuses heavily on providing… Continue reading Day 9: Food Donation
Day 6: Generous Tip
We put a twist on the idea of a generous tip today. This day was originally created to give a waiter or waitress a little extra on the gratuity during lunch or dinner. Last year we gave a $20 tip on $14 lunch. This year we decided that we were going to stay home and… Continue reading Day 6: Generous Tip
Day 4: Thank You

We fail to pause a moment to share our appreciation and our gratitude with others. Today, we wanted to focus on saying… Continue reading Day 4: Thank You

Thanksgiving also… Continue reading 25 Days of Giving: 2013
Chicken for Children
About a year ago I learned about the Dr. Bill Lewis Center for Children, a small nonprofit organization here in Fort Wayne that is impacting the lives of children who have been sexually abused. Yeah, I said children who have been sexually abused. Does that make you uncomfortable? Does it make your stomach churn? It should. It… Continue reading Chicken for Children
Alzheimer’s Sucks!
Alzheimer’s sucks! There is really no other way to say it. Well, I could easily say it a different way by adding a lot of graphic, inappropriate expletives. However, I won’t. I will just say that it sucks. It is a disease that affects millions of people. Actually, there are more than 5 million people in… Continue reading Alzheimer’s Sucks!
BetterU- A Fight Against Heart Disease In Women
Did you know heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year? This means women just like you – mothers, sisters, friends – are dying at the rate of one per minute because they don’t know what you know: heart disease kills. This past… Continue reading BetterU- A Fight Against Heart Disease In Women
