One Back

What a difference a few months make!  We’ve been too long away from writing, and the past year has presented many challenges.  But when all looked so dark and gloomy just six months ago, things are starting to look better once again.

Businesses and charities are not “out of the woods” yet by a long shot, but it appears the business cycle is improving.  The deep recession may be coming to an end and growth may return to various industrial and consumer markets across the globe.   Housing has a long way to go before any recovery is truly seen however, and millions may still face foreclosure this year. 

While the stock market makes it appear that the economy is recovering quickly, there are still millions of people struggling each day to find a job, keep their families in a home, and even find enough money for food.   We believe it’s time once again to focus on charitable giving, and to expand our focus a little.   So if you tightened your belt this past year as most of us did, perhaps it’s time to think about giving once again to your favorite cause or charity?

We will continue to look for stories across the nation about charitable giving, and ways to simply help others.  If indeed the global economy may see a recovery this year, with the ideal that “a rising tide lifts all boats,”  then now is a perfect time to help those who need it along the way.   Because as surely as the tide comes in, there are those who simply won’t be able to climb in the boat.   A helping hand can go a long way!
