Tom - all one has to do to help is find an organization, such as the ones here in your post, that you can relate to and get involved some need assistance and some need funding we should choose and just do it

Great post!

Hi Tom,
Oh my gosh, today is the 15th and I had intended to post for Blog Action Day.

OCT

I never got around to posting about this today... in survival mode myself, but that's no excuse.

Tom-I think its time for us to take care of our own...its all people ..the human race.. What a great contribution

Kathy - Thanks. You're absolutely right.

Fran - Thanks my friend.

Cynthia - You can do it today ;-)

Susie - It's never too late.

Midori - Thank you very much.

Tom- thanks for the resources :) We are very lucky, and I remember working for a hotline in Riverside giving resources to people....and one aspect of Poverty is not knowing what Resources are available.

Tom,

It sounds like there are some very good organizations in your area who are doing what they can to help....your post may help them to gain more volunteers and donations and perhaps other communities will endeavour to set up similar organizations.

This sounds like a great organization. The key for us is to get involved -- actually get up and DO something.

I have to thank you as it was the blog you posted about Blog Action Day coming up that got me involved. Awareness is the first step towards solutions. Thanks, Tom!

I'm sorry I missed this on the 15th. You highlighted some wonderful programs, thank you!

This is the first that I've heard about Blog Action Day. Is it monthly, quarterly, annually. Perhaps as I continue to have fun blogging, I'll find out about these types of events sooner.
