Reed Sandrige from D.C. recently got laid off from his job and is now living off savings and unemployment benefits...so what does he do with it?
Gives $10 to a stranger everyday during his "year of giving". He sees and individual that appears they may need the cash or have an interesting story to tell and moves on from there.
He documents the people he gives the gift to and blogs about it everyday. So far he has shared almost $1,000 with people within 94 days.
His focus is to mainly share the gift of kindness more than the money.
I felt this was a very grand thing he's doing....with me being in a similar situation I'd jump on the bandwagon and give a smile to a random person....but - I still got bills to pay and a family to help with my couple hundred....so I'll live vicariously through him
Check his blog The Year Of Giving to keep up with this project and probably even his progress out of unemployment through the good deeds
ORIGINAL STORY
If there were more people like him, who actually have the means to help people...the world could be a better place. Instead of waiting until hard times hit others or yourself - just be nice....never know what it can bring :)
