Deb - I take my iron pills daily which is why I keep my numbers high. If it wasn't for them I would be out of luck from donating. Food over in Argentina was hard for me. I did have people get creative for me, but it wasn't the same. I've noticed that you contribute to food banks which I think is hella cool. I haven't gone that route; then again who wants organic food?
About your uncle that is pretty kick ass!
So after so much traveling these past few weeks I had joined Delta's Sky Miles. Hum? Imagine that! I never thought I'd be traveling let alone join a miles club. I accumulated a little over 15,000 miles within a 3 week period. In the beginning I thought oh sweet! Here is my chance to use miles or add some more for my upcoming future traveling. Of course when I saw that I could donate my miles to any participating charities I jumped on it. I was so excited being able to contribute to any causes this way. I donated 3,000 miles each to the following organizations:
Canine AssistantsA nonprofit organization that trains service dogs to enhance and improve the lives of children and adults who have physical disabilities, seizure disorders, or other special needs.
Dream FoundationIs the first and largest national organization granting dreams to adults, over the age of 18, who are battling life-threatening illnesses. Donated miles are used to reunite families, bring loved ones together or to create lasting memories with one last family trip.
Latin American AssociationA solid community anchor providing a vital link for Latino residents of Atlanta and beyond as they integrate into American society. They assist families with urgent needs, provide long term intervention in specialized areas, promote youth academic achievement, and support self-sufficiency through education and prevention.
The Nature ConservancyA leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. The mission of The Nature Conservancy is to preserve plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive.
Washington, DC Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation, Inc.
Honor Dr. King's contributions to world peace through non-violent social change. The vision of the Memorial captures the essence of his message, a message in which he so eloquently affirms the commanding tenants of the American Dream - Freedom, Democracy and Opportunity for All. Your support puts us one step closer to making this dream a reality.
There you have it! I am again HAPPY to have been able to do this!
Mucho paz y amor hoy, manana y siempre!
Much peace and love today, tomorrow and always!
