About me:
We're "Hope Heals"....come explore what we're all about!

In January, we ate on $1 a day during our "Dollar-A-Day" Challenge as a way to raise awareness and educate around the reality of global hunger, but also to raise funds for Karla's upcoming missions trip to Zambia.

During our "Freegan February" Challenge, we lived as freely as possible; and doing so without using any resources that are intended for those truly in need.

Now, here in March, in our "Helping Hands" Project, we're taking the opportunity to pay it forward, one day at a time.

We invite you to check out our blog; our daily account of this journey.

Hi and welcome. I'm so glad you decided to join us.

Enjoy your 29 Days and don't forget to share some stories to help inspire others. If you need help posting in your Personal Giving Blog, follow these directions.

Help Us Grow: Please help spread the word. Send this Invitation to friends, write about the challenge and include a badge or our video on your website, blog, facebook, or myspace page.

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. Plus, it enters you in our contest for a $10 iTunes Card!

Happy giving!

P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar, which helps you keep track of your gifts. And keep your eye out for weekly Giveaways and Raffles!
