This is something I really could do, just need to get fit, which is a goal for this year anyway.

But I just might do it.

I remember what many children's little faces looked like on Christmas morning and Easter morning when their mommies and daddies didn't have much money for gifts or celebrating. I also remember what those little faces looked like when their mommy and daddy were all f'kd up on holidays and didn't give a damn. <br><br>If i could do something adventurous, i would go to the big day after Christmas 50% off clearance sales and buy as much Christmas stuff as i could--toys, decorations, fake trees, gift wrap, stockings, stocking stuffers....and the same thing at the big day after Easter clearance sales and buy baskets, stuffed animals, plastic eggs and decorations. <br><br>Then i would pack it all away safely in my spare bedroom till next year, and next Christmas i would go back to the Projects with decorated trees, stuffed stockings, wrapped gifts and hand them out. Same thing next Easter with Easter baskets and stuffed animals.<br><br>It may seem a trivial thing to do, but it would sure be meaningful and memorable to some children who really deserve it.<br><br>Ana ((0.~))<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779594718572241463.post-71914371213160725032005-03-29T19:39:00.000-05:002005-03-29T19:39:00.000-05:00I would go to a third-world country and help them ...I would go to a third-world country and help them out in any way deemed necessary.

I used to walk for Heart Disease, and that was a good cause. The past few years I haven't participated, other than donations. The last one was buying new DVD's for our servicemen/women in January, one of the local Mom's headed it up. I try and give to new charities every year. ~DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779594718572241463.post-29227858352042035282005-03-31T15:45:00.000-05:002005-03-31T15:45:00.000-05:00This is a difficult question for me to answer, bec...This is a difficult question for me to answer, because of ill health. But I have in the past done voluntary work with the Blind, Red Cross and until recently helped run and organise support groups for carers (people who look after friends/relatives with severe illness and/or disabilities). My pet project was the local Mental Health Carers group. I am still a carer though - I could never give up on hubby. If it were possible I would continue my work with carers, as a very high proportion of them suffer ill health themselves - often due directly to their caring role. My adventures would be confined to the local area.<br>Sylvia xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
