Doctors Without Borders Tally

Thank you all leaving your comments in June. The total came to 85, and the money will go to a good cause indeed. Being a nurse, I am partial to medical good deeds, and I'll round our $42.50 up to a nice round number.

Beth Anne's comments enriched the coffers of Meals on Wheels in her community, and Karen and Gerard of Right Where We Belong donated last month to Joni and Friends.

And this month they are donating to Heifer, International. They posted a very cool video of Alton Brown (the funny food guy) telling about the good that Heifer, International does. I am still so pleased about our being able to send our goat and chicks off to help someone prosper---and drink milk, and eat eggs. (As you can see, I'm partial to eating, too.)

Here I'm deciding what should be next, and with my flag flying in my front yard, I think I will research which entity does the most good for our service personnel or our wounded veterans. July seems like an auspicious time to pay extra attention to their needs and their sacrifice.

If you have some suggestions, please feel free to put me in the know. Maybe I'll combine July August's comments to that end.

Have a great weekend. Eat a hot dog for me!

  3. I didn't help your comment quota too much the past few days - - - I was just soooooo MIA in blogland.

    I too "laud" your comment donation idea.

    If you ever have a month where you can't find a cause you like, we are collecting "change" at our church to fund a well in a village in Zambia which needs good drinking water. We just paid for one well, and we're starting on our second.

  5. Great idea for your charity for July! I have heard of the Wounded Warrior Project, too, so think I may have to go there and check them out also. There are soooo many great causes out there! My "charity" this month is going to be the National Down Syndrome Society and I have already gotten a comment from a mom of a sweet little Down Syndrome boy so I am so happy!!! Thanks for the mention in your post! I will be back!!!
