$10 a week challenge...

Yes money is right but I know that I'm lucky that I have way more than most. Way way more. So I decided I may not have much to spare but I can make just a few dollars go far in terms of donations. I'm going to take $10 a week and use it for couponing or dollar store shopping and donate what I'm able to buy with it. Maybe I'll combine 2 weeks for a bigger haul. But I know there are many many people out there in my own community that lack basic needs. And I'm not putting my stress in the same catagory as theirs but I can relate. There have been times when I have skipped a meal out or passed on a portion of something so I'd have enough for my kids. Most people do this at some point it's nothing major. But still. There are lots of people that lack food, clothing,  basic toiletries and maybe even more important that that; hope. Maybe with my small contribution I'll make a difference in someone else's life. Maybe only temporary but a difference. I've always wanted to pay off someone's layaway at Kmart. Of corse I secretly wish I could see their face. But it wouldn't matter if I can't what matters is knowing deep down the relief I was able to give someone. I'm hoping to do that even on a small scale this holiday season. So here it goes. $10 a week to purchase items for those less fortunate. Can't wait to see how far I can make it go. And maybe inspire others to do the same!
