Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- The main reason is so I can bring a smile to someone's face each and every day. A smile is worth it. We all encounter suffering and I hope I can help alleviate suffering and pain from somebody that needs to feel love and compassion.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I would like to experience personal growth throughout this journey. I would like to see that there are GOOD people out there even amidst evil.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- My friend passed on an email to me.
- About me:
- I have a graduate degree in counseling, so I work in the helping field. I am a people-oriented person, so it is important to me that I make a difference in this one life I have been given. I look forward to getting married this September to my wonderful fiance! :)

Check out the groups on the site and join any that appeal to you.
