As you can see we do things a little different in my family. I still think I’m like most people, in the sense that I’m pro-giving… the problem is that I don’t always have a lot of money to give. Sure I try to give at least 10% of what I earn, but living in one of the most expensive cities in the country makes it a little tough at times.
Being Christmas and all, I’ve been thinking a lot about other ways to give besides just simply writing another check or volunteering. I know I know volunteering your time is one of the most rewarding things a person can do, and yes I am pro-volunteering too; however, I travel so much I can’t set a regular volunteering schedule. So I’ve come up with the broke, busy guys guide to changing the world!
5) Locksforlove.com – that’s right you donate your hair to charity. This goes to make wigs for sick children.
4) givethegiftofsight.com – is a Web site that lets you donate your old glasses to people in need.
3) booksforsoldiers.com – donate your old books to soldiers oversees in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2) Saving leftovers from when I eat out so I can give them away to a homeless person that night
1) Preparing a small care package of food, water and small cleaning or medical supplies so that when I come across a person in need I can just give them the package.
