As you probably know, last year I traveled to Malawi Africa and helped build a library at a school in a dirt village. (thats how this blog started) I paid for that on my own because I was too proud to ask for help… I’m still paying for it. Later, I biked 200 miles and raised about $1,700 for Multiple Sclerosis. I was shocked to find out that some people really did have a heart for helping. To them, I am forever grateful and all of this has made me want to do more in this world. I’m lucky, you’re lucky… others are not so lucky.
I’m currently trying to raise money for my 2012 school build in Papua New Guinea. I’ve learned that raising money isn’t easy… we all have our wants and our needs. Sadly, “wanting” to help someone else isn’t always on the top of our agenda when it comes to money. Understandable… money is tight these days.
Here is what I am proposing… donate your loose change. Gather up the pile of change on the dresser, out of the bottom of that drawer, dump some extra weight out of your purse and donate it to Be The Change Volunteers. We’ll call it “Be The Change, CHANGE!” BTCC
I will pick up your BTCC, sort it, count it and get you a tax deductible receipt if you desire!
This is a win-win situation. Your change adds up and you honestly… probably wont miss it. You can make a difference… and I NEED YOUR HELP.
Can we do this? Will you ask your friends to do the same? Its as simple as grabbing a plastic cup and setting it where you dump your car keys… dump your keys, then dump your change. I will pick it up from you in the central Missouri area on a few week or monthly basis, if you live far away, you can cash it in at your bank and mail a check to made out to Be The Change Volunteers. This adds up… YOU can make a difference and not change our lifestyle… just your daily habit with that pesky change.
