This Christmas we decided to buy gifts for the children we know and to donate money to charity instead of presents for the adults. We also asked if people would do the same for us. We chose Ronald McDonald House in Connecticut for our family members in CT and Second Chance Pet Adoptions in NC for our friends here. Everyone was so supportive and it was very heart warming to see my Mother-in-law give us a Walmart gift card with the thought of us being able to give it to our local food pantry. My Grandparents also gave us some money and that gave me an idea to keep it going.
This is where another blog will come into play. I want to start documenting some planned and random acts of kindness that will hopefully inspire others to help out when and where they can. We are going to begin by bringing our Walmart gift card to Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Our neighborhood has a food drive every year that donates to them as well.
I have spent some time looking online for some other ideas and have found great ones. I am looking forward to helping out and posting some responses.
Now I need some help since I have no idea what to name the blog. Something similar to: random acts of kindness, good deeds, giving back, pay it forward, etc. I just need something different enough so that it isn't taken and still makes sense. Please send me any ideas you have.
Love it! So thoughtful!
