Love Drop is a micro-giving network of people who unite as a community to make a difference in the lives of one person or family a month. By giving just $1.00, they make it easy for their members to change lives in a fun and super easy way.
At the end of every month, Nate and J$ show up in the town the families live in and present them with everything the team raised -- all the money, the gifts, whatever the community helped get. It's all on film, and it all ends with us making a difference! (And then it starts all over again the next month)
Last month Love Drop gave over $5,000 worth of cash and goods to their recipient, Katie, who had been battling a couple of brain tumors over the years, and it culminated with a surprise gift of 15+ friends showing up at her house to celebrate with her. It was awesome. You can watch how it all went down here.
This month they rally behind the Kahlen's - a family who has been hit hard by the economy, and by their daughter's serious medical condition, tuberous sclerosis. In addition to financial assistance, they're planning to unite the artistic community to help support Kent's glassmaking work.
Want to help? Here are two ways you can participate:
- Give $1.00 - This is the best way to help out and join their team at the same time.
- Donate a piece of art - Love Drop started their first art shop this month, and would love to feature your artwork in it. Proceeds go to help the Kahlen's this month, and is a great way to promote your work.
- Join our blogger network - Blog about our Love Drops each month like I am :) It's easy, it's rewarding, and it REALLY helps spread the word (which in turn helps our families).Love Drop will give you all the content you need.
Thanks everyone! We'll let you know how it goes!
You can do this! Life will get a lot better.
ReplyDeleteIf you need help with menu planning then give me a shout. I used to do the week for three on $30.00 and we ate really well.
I came over from The Frugal Girl. I'm so glad you decided to start blogging. If you've never had a blog before, you won't believe how much the blogging community will come to mean to you. It's amazing the friends and support you will find.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea about doing two things a day to improve your situation. I'm a terrible procrastinator too. Two things a day is manageable, and I have room in my house I have been putting off cleaning out, so I'm going to use that idea to get myself in the mode to clean it. I never feel like tackling a big project at the end of the day, but I can do two things a day.
Oh, and thanks for those links, they sound like really neat ideas and I will check them out.
Hugs,

Thank-you so much for your support. It means more than you know. I do need menu planning help. I think I may take you up on that!
