Help the kids!

I recently began signing up for volunteer opportunities through an awesome organization called Hands On Jacksonville.

One opportunity is to wrap toys for underprivileged kids at a North Jacksonville Elementary school, Carter G. Woodson Elementary. It's in a part of time plagued by drug deals and shootings. Ninety-one percent of children at the school are on the reduced or free lunch program.

Today I got an email from and organizer saying that we might not need to wrap gifts because not enough money had been raised. Of the $5,000 needed to ensure every child receives a gift, only $125 has been raised online.

That broke my heart. It only takes $10 to give a gift to a child that might not be getting anything else this holiday season.

If this story has moved you the way it has moved me, help me out by:
1. Donating. Even just $10...every little bit helps! http://hopewoodson.org
2. Spread the word! Email, blog, Facebook and Tweet about it. The more people that know, the more likely we are to raise enough money for these kids!

Happy Holidays!! :)
