It also means giving up your time to help someone in need. Just listening to someone can help! For example, I recently became a first time home buyer. Even though I had more than enough work to do on my home, I spent time to get to know my neighbors. (Also, to make sure they were not freaks) After speaking with them, I found out that the wife had stage 2 throat cancer and the husband was laid off. He was out of work for almost a year and they were running out of insurance money and money in general. While I was not able to give them any money, I go out of my way to talk to them. Being a good listener helps others too! Good article that shows others ways to be charitable!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3769892733380160562.post-14804278932534007312009-12-11T21:00:46.081-07:002009-12-11T21:00:46.081-07:00Great advice!

I appreciate that there are so many great ideas that don't involve the purchase of 'more stuff' that clutters up our lives and our landfills. Another terrific charitable gift idea is the charity gift card from TisBest Philanthropy (www.TisBest.org). The recipient chooses the charity the gift of money goes to; a notification tells the giver which charity was chosen. The cards are truly customizable and very attractive. There are a number of people on our lists who really do have everything, but we still want to give a gift. This is a great choice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793465652337804933noreply@blogger.com
