pay it forward

[xradeu]

I just sat and watched an hour of Oprah and bawled like a baby thru the whole show.

it was about her giving her audience -314 people $1000 to pay it forward. 
One lady got enough people involved and they raised $72000 for a family whose father has a brain tumor 
My part isn't  a lot but I intend on going thru my clothes and taking them for the flood

while the cops reaction (so she says- rolling of eyes etc) doesn't make this ok - I know for a fact she probably deals with it daily.

Each year my work adopts a family from the woman's shelter. We find out their ages, names, sizes and wishlists and get them everything they could possibly thing of for Christmas because the families there usually arrive with what they are wearing and that's about it.

It makes you feel really good to help others..

Also, watch the movie Pay it Forward. I bawled like a baby through the whole thing.
