Helping someone in need: reaching out in the romance community
I believe the romance community is an incredibly giving and generous group of individuals who come together and support each other when things become to much to bear. This situation is one of those times. This information was passed along to me, asking for me to do no more than spread the word, which is why I'm posting at my blog.
During these difficult financial times, we all have to decide how we can help, or even if we can. I truly believe though, that by helping others, it comes back to us many times over. Personally, I've read "The Object of Love" by Sharon, and I also know she lives in the same state I do, so that means something to me - it literally brings it home, to my backyard. It's not somewhere in another country where I can turn a blind eye. It's here.
So what if I don't buy 1, 2, or 5 books this year if it means I can do a little something for someone who needs it. That's a tiny sacrifice I can make. Maybe others cannot afford to, and if that's the case, I completely understand, and wouldn't expect someone to put their own self in a bad situation. Maybe they could pass the word on to someone who can.

From Karen Scott's blog:

Sharon Cullars, the author of "Again" and "The Object of Love" needs our help. Since losing her job, she has been unable to find another. As a result, Sharon is about to lose her home to foreclosure.

Any donation you can make to help out will be greatly appreciated. You can make a contribution via PayPal by stopping at CHIP IN: SHARON CULLARS.

If you’re not familiar with Sharon and would like to learn more about her and her work, you can visit her web site (Sharon Cullars) and blog (Sharon’s Muse).

It would be great if you guys could help spread the word, so please feel free to copy and paste this info onto your blog.

8th annual Children's Memorial Radioathon
Many of you know that there are a few causes near and dear to my heart: supporting the troops, the care and welfare of animals, and anything to do with children. This past weekend was the 8th annual Eric and Kathy 36-hour radioathon for Children's Memorial Hospital. And every year I listen to the stories, uplifting and sad, and they never fail to make me want to do something, something important.

Another year has come and gone, and so far they've raised $1,847,912 to help Chicago's kids. Yay! That is outstanding. When you hear all the bad stuff on the news and see cruelty and greed and selfishness, being a part of something like this can really lighten your heart and give you faith in people again, or continue to have it in those who tirelessly pick up the torch to fight another day.
There is still time to donate...just go here.
What cause(s) do you support?
How do you try to make a difference?
