I saw http://www.aolnews.com/philanthropy/nc/article/philanthropy-on-10-a-day/991224?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fphilanthropy%2Fnc%2Farticle%2Fphilanthropy-on-10-a-day%2F991224 this story on AOLs homepage. Normally driven off by front page stories, this one intrigued me. I refuse to watch the local news due to a violence and crime ridden hour of tv. Its depressing that the in order for a TV market to get rating is to show the murders, and the theivery and rapes, etc. etc. etc. I feel it should be an equally balanced between good and bad, or at least more good than there is now.

This is an article about a man who lost his job in December from a non-profit company. Probably wasn't making anything to begin with, and then went to nothing. He started a project to give $10 to a new person everyday for a year. Some of the stories are amazing, and it's great to hear its close to home. He knows that giving someone $10 isnt going to change the life of something, but in turn he is hoping that it will make others help people a little more, something we should all do a little bit more.  Great story. Here is the guys blog about his entire project. http://www.aolnews.com/philanthropy/nc/article/philanthropy-on-10-a-day/991224?icid=main|htmlws-main-n|dl1|link3|http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aolnews.com%2Fphilanthropy%2Fnc%2Farticle%2Fphilanthropy-on-10-a-day%2F991224

Great Story! I love how there are still people like this in the world. I would follow his foot steps on the west coast if I could afford 300 dollars a month.

lol. This was voluntary. Tax money might go to other people but if you have no choice of whether or not to pay them, there is no good will involved.

I wonder if he can get a write off? I mean would he have to go to each person and get a receipt of some sort like you get at Goodwill
