Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I have made a commitment to give $10 to someone every day for one year. I thought it would be interesting to see how people react to receiving $10 from a complete stranger. Also, I wanted to learn how they intended to use the money. Would they give the money to someone else, buy something, or even give it back to me. It has been fascinating. If you would like to learn more, please visit me at www.yearofgiving.org.
What I'd most like to receive:
Oddly I have not given much thought to this.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I found it on CNN's website.
About me:
I am 35, unemployed, and thought that giving would be a great way to connect with society and hopefully inspire others to give. I live in Washington, DC. If you would like to know more, check out www.yearofgiving.org.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

Looking back on my 365 days of giving...

Posted on January 3, 2011 at 9:44am 1 Comment

After losing my job in 2009, I made a commitment to give a different stranger $10 every day for a year - no strings attached.  December 14th was the 365th day and I spent some time looking back at what was the most amazing year of my life.  Click here to read the story.
