2009 and $10/20
Small donations have made a big difference in 2009.
Ron and I wish each of you a happy and healthy 2010. We are pleased at the positive impact of the $10/20 project and I thought you might like to read a synopsis of what has been accomplished since June 2009:
- 48 people have donated at least $10. Many of you donate on a regular basis. Many of you donate more than $10 at a time.
- We have received donations from people living in 8 different states.
- 14 people have donated at least 20 minutes to an individual or organization.
- We have a website, facebook page, and a twitter account.
Because of your donations the $10/20 project:
- was able to help a family with their rent. Four months ago, a couple and their two young children risked eviction. They just celebrated their second holiday season in their home.
- was able to purchase clothes for a man who was living in a homeless shelter. The man had a job interview and didn’t have anything appropriate to wear to an interview with an insurance company. He and Ron walked out of the store with enough clothes to wear for two job interviews.
- purchased medication, coats, gloves, and blankets for those in need.
- generously donated to the Wise Family, as they face what no family should have to face.
Many of you have cleaned out your closets, or even gone and bought new coats and gloves. Several of you have sent us coats from your closets or coats you have purchased online. Ron gives these out as fast as we receive them. Your donations of time and money do matter. In 2009, they made a positive difference in the lives of others.
Small donations will make a big difference in 2010!
