Poverty and hunger are huge issues even in a county as "prosperous" as ours. Even without natural disasters many Americans (and others worldwide) are affected by hunger on a daily basis. These issues must be brought up and talked about in order to open our eyes and find solutions. Nice article Lisa.

I agree -- you reach a point in life where you don't need more "stuff" for a birthday or for Christmas. I think everyone should check out the Compassion funds and put one on your birthday list this year!!! Let your loved ones know... :) Vicki, that is awesome.

Lisa S. -- thank you for your donation to the Disaster Relief Fund!! I know that Compassion will put it to excellent use and it WILL make a difference for a family. Vicki -- Wow, that is a harrowing experience -- to think a home was literally on the brink of being toppled into a river with one wrong move. Scary. That paints quite a picture of the devastation wrought by flooding. Amy -- I LOVE your idea of making a donation as a gift for someone. We did something similar at my MOPS group (Mothers of Preschoolers.) To thank our mentor mom, we gave a donation to the Child Survival Program in her name and presented it to her with a card. It was very meaningful because she has a real heart for babies. :) Here's the list of funds if others want to do something similar: https://www.compassion.com/contribution/default.htm Thanks everyone for your comments.
