Sponsor a Child and Make a Difference Today!

by BlondieWrites on November 9, 2011

Sponsor a Child and Make a Difference Today!

 

Most of us take a lot of things in this life for granted: A roof over our heads, food to eat, clean water to drink, an education, medicine when we need it, a bed to sleep on, etc.

The cold hard truth is that a lot of children have no roof over their heads. They go to sleep, if they can sleep, hungry. They have no clean water to drink. They don’t get an education. They have no soft bed to lay on. they have no medicine when they need it.

Some of their bellies are bloated but not from being overstuffed with food – but rather because they have not eaten in so long. For some, to get a drink means to drink filthy water, often the same water they bathe in or wash their few clothes in and that animals have been in.

How many of us can imagine living this way? I dare say, not many of us. But this is a way of life for many children, and they need help. They need our help.

How many of us spend a dollar or so a day on something we don’t really need? Like a soda or some fries or a chocolate bar? How many of us buy boxes and boxes of soda every month? How many of us eat out all during the week?

Christmas is coming. How many of us will spend money and buy loads of Christmas gifts for our kids – gifts that in all honesty will probably get shoved to the side after the new wears off.

Why not do something different – and make a difference. Why not sponsor a child and make a difference in that child’s life? For less than $30 a month, less than $1 a day, you can make a difference in the life a child. You can choose a boy or a girl to sponsor. You can correspond with the child with letters and photos if you want to, plus get updates about the child. you can even visit the child if you want to!

And trust me, these kids WILL appreciate what you do! You can help clothe a child, help feed a child, help a child get medicine and clean water, help a child have an education and a roof over their head. If you don’t think you can make a difference with so little, you are so wrong!

Years ago, I sponsored a little girl from the Philippines. At that time, sponsoring a child was only about $18 a month. I didn’t make a lot of money, but I always sent $20 a month instead of just the $18. I got letters from her telling me what she was able to buy with just that $2 extra … clothing for her AND her family, an umbrella, food, and more. Her mom was widowed and left to raise children on her own. The few dollars I was able to send helped the little girl and her family.

Sponsoring a child doesn’t just bless the child, it blesses you! It blesses you just knowing that you are making a difference in the life a child – a child that will grow up and know they were loved enough by a stranger to help them. And think of the difference they can make!

Why not start now? Sponsor a child and make a difference today! Click that link and get all the details – it’s super easy and it WILL make a difference!

Throwing a Christmas Party on a Budget

by BlondieWrites on December 16, 2009

Christmas parties are much less common than they once were. But it’s still great to be able to get together with our friends and family during the holidays. Why not throw a Christmas party of your own?

One reason that many people do not have Christmas parties is because of budget concerns. Throwing a party can be an expensive proposition. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be. If you follow these tips, you can have a splendid Christmas party without spending a fortune.

* Sending invitations to your guests can be surprisingly expensive. Store-bought invitations aren’t cheap, and you’ll also have to pay for postage. Keep your costs down by sending them by email or inviting guests by phone.

* Make it clear to guests if they are allowed to bring others to the party, and ask them to let you know how many people they will be bringing. It’s easier to plan for your party if you know how many people to expect.

* Forgo the catering and do the cooking yourself. It will take some work, but cooking everything at home is much less expensive than having someone else to make the food and bring it in. Have the family help to make it a little easier on yourself.

* Better yet, make it a potluck. If each guest brings a dish, there will be plenty to eat at very little expense to you. You could even have some guests bring drinks, plates, cups and plasticware if you like.

* Keep the decorations simple. Your Christmas tree could serve as the focal point. Use inexpensive tinsel or garland and Christmas lights around the house, and hang up a few sprigs of holly or mistletoe here and there. There’s no need to spend lots of money to make your home look festive.

* If there’s snow outside, put some in ice buckets and bring it in to chill drinks with. This adds a nice festive touch and saves you money because you won’t have to buy ice.

* To save money on entertainment, put a karaoke machine to use. If you don’t have one of your own, borrow or rent one. Make sure that get the singing on video if possible!

* Make handmade ornaments to give out as party favors. You can make them quickly and inexpensively out of plastic canvas and yarn in Christmas colors.

* If you want to make Christmas parties at your house a tradition, start planning for next year as soon as Christmas is over. You can get 50% or more off regular prices for decorations after the holiday.

Christmas parties are lots of fun, even if you don’t spend a lot of money on them. A frugal party is no less memorable than one where no expense was spared. So don’t wait for someone else to throw one. Take it upon yourself to organize the festivities!
