Work for Charity Day

[ladysprite]

A little while ago I posted about an idea I had to help make the world a little bit better, and to help me feel a little less helpless in the face of the challenges that exist in the world today. I promised to donate my income for one day to charity, and I invited my friends to join me in this.

And now it's just about here. Tomorrow is Work for Charity Day. Luckily, it's also one of the last few days I have scheduled to work before I'm completely out on disability.

So. I pledge that tomorrow I will donate 100% of my income to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. It'll make working that much easier, and that much more meaningful, to know that my actions will have a purpose above and beyond the usual purpose of my job. It's not much, but it's something.

A few people have already donated to charities, and to those of you who have, thank you. And if you've been considering participating, or have promised to, thank you as well - and consider this your reminder. :)

If you're participating, please let me know. You don't need to tell me how much you're donating, but if you're willing, I'd love to know where you're donating to.

I am so glad to know that my friends are willing to join me in helping the world. I am lucky to have you guys in my life....

I am alas not participating (currently unemployed) but when I do get a job I will pick a day and a charity.

Thanks for the reminder! It's going to be a good while before I have any sort of income again, but it's still good to make *some* donation. Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I've sent a healthy amount to Feeding America, which seems appropriate to the season...
