genuine, wwt, welcomer commented on Chiara's blog post Giving Day 3"Good for you. Sometimes it is hard for people to accept something; I think it is especially hard for parents to accept things from their children (haven't they devoted their lives to GIVING to their children?). But, hey, just because it's…"

Today I found a great little cause to donate something too. It is called pennies for Wessa. Wessa Miller had a wish granted back in 1998 by the Make A Wish Foundation She was six years old. she wanted to meet Dale Earnhardt. Well she did and gave him a lucky penny prior to the start of the Daytona 500 and that is when he finally won it. As thanks to Wessa and her family he brought her to a race at Bristol and presented her with a handicap accessible van. Well her family is still using this van… Continue

For day 4 I sent a payment to the American Diabetes Association. My Dad was recently diagnosised with diabetes so I thought this was a worthy cause to support.
Oh and I heard from a friend that I sent happy mail to the other day and she was thrilled with what she received.

Today I did something a bit out of character for me. I insisted on paying for lunch. I work in a family business my family and it is hard for my parents to accept anything. So today I was firm and polite and insisted that I buy lunch it is just a little thing to give back to my Mom and Dad for all they do for me.
Day 2

Yesterday was my day 2 and I put a stack of happy mail in the post to lend some support to a few friends I have going through some rough times. Happy Mail is one of my favorite ways to give and spread cheer. I think people love to get mail that isn't ads or bills. Plus it gives me the added bonus of feeling joy a second time when the mail is received.

Check out our CAUSE OF THE MONTH. For the months of February and March, our cause of the month is to help Mbali Creazzo, the mother of this movement, by supporting her effort to raise the funding necessary to allow her to go home to the country of her birth, South Africa. She'll be traveling with the Vukani Muwethu Choir, a humanitarian vocal group that raises funds to support efforts and organizations in South Africa, such as AIDS clinics and orphanages. Please take a moment to read more about Mbali and her trip.
Also PLAY GIFT TAG! Help support the 29Gifts Community and have some fun too by 'playing' with these beautiful and unique gift tags. It's the gift that multiplies – your support is a gift to the 29Day Giving Challenge, and a gift to those who receive them too! These funds go to help offset the costs of maintance and hosting for our website and community, making it possible for everyone to continue to revive the giving spirit in the world.
