I often wish I was wealthy so I could help others. I often think about how I need to find the time to volunteer. I'm not saying this because it is PC. I am saying it because I mean it. But I am neither wealthy in funds nor in time. It doesn't mean I don't give when and where I can at any chance I'm given...it just means I hope and want to do more. Tonight, a strange little moment happened. I threw out the suggestion of a new thing and it seemed to crash right into another status update about a place my friend volunteers his time. Another friend was asking people to give a donation for the holidays. It shed some light on the following...
The Incarnation Children’s Center (ICC) is New York City’s only skilled
nursing facility providing specialized care for children and adolescents
living with HIV/AIDS.
This is the time of year to be grateful. As I spend moments tied up in holiday concerts and special events with my children I never forget how lucky I am. I am thankful for all that they are and all that they will become. It makes me sad that children ever have to suffer...anywhere for any reason. The ICC is taking donations, gift cards and even has a shopping list all set up for specific presents that have been requested. It is one of the countless organizations that need help. Please, during this special time of year, don't forget to give back...somewhere. Anywhere. Thanks Bryan and Colette for being so awesome!
