Living A Wonderful Life
There are many charitable organizations around today and many people give generously to them. I applaud and honor those who provide support to the many worthy causes out there. I would like to gauge the generosity of my fellow human’s. There are many people out there in need who fall through the cracks. These people do not receive government assistance or assistance from charitable organizations. There are many who have been laid off due to the hard economic times we now face. These same people are unable to meet their debt obligations such as loans and credit cards. These same people are possibly facing foreclosure of their homes. The government is spending billions to bail out banks and corporations. I ask where is the real bail out for the workers who are unable to support their families? If we are going to get out of this economic crisis, we need to be resourceful and generous with each other. We need to think out of the box. With that in mind I also saw again “Its a Wonderful Life”. That movie always gets me.
How wonderful it would be to be able to have a town simply pass a collection basket around and donate money to a family in need. With today’s technology how many people have honestly pondered publishing a site for that very purpose with a paypal link so people could donate a dollar to them. I have honestly thought about it. Heck if the Government is spending billions to bail out these failed companies, where is our bail out? But that really goes against my conservative values. No, there is no job security and many good people like Mr. Baily fall on hard times, but their is no Clarence to help us. That is there is no openly identified angel helping us out of our hardship.
They are there though. With so many people, good people, who have been laid off, I ask you to please be generous this Christmas season. Be a Clarence for someone. Open your heart and your wallet and donate any amount from $1.00 to $1000,000.00 To a Charity of your choice. Spend some time with someone in need, whether providing a shoulder to lean on, some helpful advice, a meaningful introduction that could lead to a job, or a hand up. Your donations are greatly appreciated and will go to good use in helping others. You know what, you will feel better afterwords.
Here is your chance to bring “It’s a Wonderful Life” to Life.
I am currently looking to transition my skills. I have almost 10 years marketing experience and my strength is finding, creating synergies and capitalizing on them for powerful marketing results. A good referral for me would be other marketing professionals within the US. I am open to relocation. Thanks for your assistance.
Have a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah.

For several years now I have been giving an annual money Christmas gift to St. Joseph’s Indian School in Chamberlain, South Dakota. It is one of the lowest percentages for administration of all the charities today as it has been for the last 20 years. A very worthwhile cause, it is here in the U.S.A.!
Not all charitable organizations are honest
I give to a few Charities: The Marine Corps Fund and since reading your post about them, StandUp for Kids of Phoenix.
Merry Christmas.
