Acts of Kindness | Tunnel to Towers Foundation

I have been struggling with whether to participate in this challenge since I don't want to talk about myself doing good things... but I like the way you did this - perhaps I'll do something similar.

And thank you for highlighting Tunnel to Towers. I'll have to do some research to see if they are in my area.

Good morning, Kathleen... without doubt, a wonderful organization to support. My husband and I also support it. I was not comfortable with the idea of talking about my own acts of kindness, but you showed how to do it without seeming boastful.

Kathleen we have been supporting fans of T2T for many years.  They do such great work for many, many families. I too can get choked up watching some of the stories......heart felt and genuine people.

Thank you for sharing this, Kathleen - LOVE the cause! At one point, a few years ago, we participated in helping build a home for this organization. Like you, the less than 5% cost to manage the organization was KEY to my participation. 

I just logged in and contributed again - thank you for the reminder! I spent some time reading over the list of donors in my area! It warmed my heart to see some of my own clients there, as well as some of the organizations that I support.

Thank you for this and congratulations on the feature! 😘

Thank you for this post and your support. I was on the main trading desk of JP Morgan Chase on 9/11 in midtown, but originally I was going to be in the WTC that day.  I have posted about this before. From a first responder aspect- I don't think I posted about that before. When I first learned of what was going on prior to the collapse of the 1st tower, I called a friend who lived and worked in the suburbs- but her father worked for NYU's Blood Center. This call to my friend and her call to her father turned out to be NYU's Blood Center first notice that they need to be on high alert. As there were virtually no survivors once the towers came down, the Blood Center services was not ultimately needed but I feel like I did the right thing regardless of the outcome. Throughtout the duration of that week- I witnesses the best and worst of our behaviors. I knew then, the world had changed. I attribute some of the fear and hate in today's environment attributable to 9/11 as a catalyst. Some will disagree with me- that's ok, but the behavior isn't. 

On of our favorite organizations.  I wrote a book about 9/11 and seem to bump into the T2T folks from time to time. We provide school teachers/classrooms our book free of charge to teach their students. One of our teachers in Sheffield Ohio sent our book to Frank Siller. He wrote such a lovely letter back.  He's a great human.

This is a beautiful submission and such a worthy cause. Those commercials do the same for me. Big lump in the throat.

Tunnel to Towers is such an important cause and I also contribute to it. 

I'm furious that we are paying for illegals to walk into this country, but we don't take care of our homeless veterans and those who have literally given limbs for service to this country.

We owe these brave Americans to have a house that fits their needs and no mortgage.

Thank you.  It means a lot to me that people care about this.  Granted my % of Army related disability doesn't stop me from doing much, I served, I gave and I believe in this cause.

This is one of the charities I annually give money to. A very worthy not for profit.

Thank you for sharing, I had never heard of this organization, and am interested in looking into them further.

Thanks for the post.  It made me remember some things that I needed to remember

This is the first time I have heard of Tunnel To Towers Foundation. What a wonderful organization. I love what they are doing. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause.

Exactly! There’s always room for kindness, no matter where we are, and no matter what we’re doing, even in the most difficult circumstances

Nick, I agree that’s usually the way it is but it’s not insurmountable, you know?

Thank you for opening two doors here: we got to know a little bit more about you and your family. I come from a family of Veterans too, I understand to some degree what you shared. But, thank you for door #2 , exposing us to Tunnels to Towers...great info and seems like a wonderful effort they make. Good stuff!

T2T is often touted by Don Bongino and is such a worthy cause for those whose lives have been changed forever through horrific events. Tunnel to Towers Foundation has helped thousands of military people get into homes they otherwise might not ever get to experience. Thank you for getting the name out there for more eyes and hopefully, more donations, Kathleen!

Hi Kathleen,

Your post has really touched a lot of people and opened their eyes and hearts to a very worthy organization that helps our catastrophically injured veterans and the families of our fallen first responders and military!!!!  Tunnel to Towers is one non-profit that people can be sure their hard earned money is going where it should be;  as 95.1% of the contributions ARE going to help where it should be going  is stewardship at its highest level!!!!  

Contrast that with all those TV commercials we see during the holiday season with the mistreated animals and shaming us into giving to help those poor animals!   Several investigative reports this year have stated that only about 2% of the money received actually goes to help those poor starving and mistreated animals while the "charity" has funneled millions and millions into offshore bank accounts.

T2T is the real deal and thanks for sharing this with us, Kathleen!

I have not seen any ads for T2T Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist but I have been giving since R.L announced it, promoted it, and have millions of his own dollars to it. Of course that was several years ago but he promoted the heck out of it while he was alive.
