Pay it forward.

Dear friends,

several days ago I saw a post from a friend of mine on Facebook stating that there was a bad accident. House of a single mother of 2 burned down here in SC. The mother and her children lost everything. It is already a tragedy to lose everything you ever owned, but losing it 4 days before Christmas....I just couldn't imagine. Without thinking long, I have offered my help and started to E-mail my friends from all over the US.I am very proud to say that today I was able to donate many large boxes that were full of clothes, toys, food, household goods, and many other stuff for the family. It is amazing how a small community and how people who never met the person are willing to help. People who paid out of their own pocket to pay for the shipping, thank you Wibke. People who made extra trips just to pick up and drop off all the goods. None of us expects anything in return, we simply take a "thank you" as a payment and a simple pay it forward.
So pay it forward friends, do something nice for your neighbor, friend, spouse, or just a simple smile to a stranger can make a huge difference in their life. Try it, it really works.
