- Why I'm choosing to give:
- Because it always feels good to give. I think sometimes, I forget this, when I get caught up in the stresses of my own life. I sometimes need a reminder :) Plus, I like to see people happy!
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I don't know. I am already blessed with so much, people who love and care for me. Each day life seems to get better. So, I guess happiness and no worries.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- a friend
- About me:
- I am a single mother of one beautiful fourteen (soon to be fifteen) year old daughter. I currently work with Developmentally Disabled adults and am in graduate school for counseling. I love nature and being creative (painting and photography).

This is an amazing way to start your challenge! I'm sure it made her day. Many hostess' and greeters don't get the credit they deserve. My 9-yr old daughter pointed this out to me just last week. She made a point to approach the greeter at our loc...
A quiet Sunday with only a trip to Whole Foods as activity. Nice. My gift to myself was the time to read the whole New York Times this morning- even the magazine. I hung around the house in my jammies reading and resting until noon. My DH made me ...
Our local food bank provides food to 40 families twice a month. My husband and I bought 6 bags of groceries and 3 christmas gifts for a family. We also attended a fundraising event and bought numerous raffle tickets, etc for this cause. It felt gr...
Thank you so much. It was nice to see the video. I also noticed that the family requested for people to stop sending cards at this point. I can totally understand how they want to spend their last few days with him, not sorting through mail. I'm s...
The family has asked that people STOP sending cards at this point. They celebrated Christmas with Noah on the 8th of November. They never expected the overwhelming amount of cards. They are extremely thankful, but they can't handle them anymore. N...

I love this idea! What a wonderful give. I am going to use this for christmas presents this year. I wanted to be able to give gifts with meaning instead of something that will sit on a shelf or get lost in a drawer. Thank you so much. Bless you, Patt
