This past year several friends have been hit hard. I would love to help them, my husband and I feel extremely blessed. I start school in January so are money is tight but I would love the opportunity to help those around me. I have one friend that lost her job and her house is in foreclosure. Maybe extra money could at least put her in an apartment or get her house payments current. Anything is possible with a little extra cash. I know we have to work hard if you want anything good in life but sometimes life can blindside you.

I've always had a dream to have enough resources to be able to drive through a neighborhood where the residents are obviously in need of a decent, safe place to live and the wherewithall to be content, call in contractors and others (anonymously), cover the costs of home renovations, outstanding medical bills and/or utility bills, and ensure that, if there are children in the home, they have access to the best schools in their area. Once the wheels are set in motion, I simply drive away and move on to the next neighborhood.

Right now, I'm no different than most of the American public -- living from paycheck to paycheck and keeping my fingers crossed and thanking God that at least I HAVE a paycheck!

I hope someone wins this fantasy who is willing to provide a fantasy to others who are at the end of a very long rope.
