Everyday people just like you and me struggle to make ends meat. Some unfortunates are stuck in situations where only a miracle can can save them from desperate measures. Single mothers/fathers. Disabled and the elderly. Drug addicted and the unemployable. People that are in desperate situations do desperate things to get out of them....
If these folks want help they must first get the means to get there. If they are able to swallow there humiliation, they then must jump through hoops, untangle the red tape, and wait a week or two to find out if they will get help.I myself have been in this situation more than once and it does nothing to help your depression.You feel hopeless,no one cares and there is no way out..

I have decided to use what little social media klout I have and set up a donation fund for these unfortunates.
Each time that my donations reach a thousand dollars I will pick a deserving family or individual that are in a desperate situation, grab my camera and make a difference. No Hoops, No red tape,No begging! Just help,nothing asked in return...
Find my Donation button and give whatever you can afford. You can do it anonymously or let me know by posting your name.
Updates will be posted.
