    I think it is great! I was the recipient of a random act, a very generous cash donation to me personally, last August. It was like a bolt out of the blue, at a time when I needed it most. The person would not let me refuse it, and I accepted it gratefully and put it to good use. This person obviously could afford it, or she would not have done it. So, I am out of the running, as I have already benefitted from this generous and kind sentiment. But I encourage you to keep up with this, and would love to hear how it goes and who is helped, whether they be Weggies or others in need!

    I sent in a donation. Hopefully it will convert it since I am in the US. It's just a little something. I am a big believer in paying it forward.

    I would send in a donation if I could, but just can't afford it right now. If I can send one later, I certainly will. So keep reminding us and keep us posted on how this goes. I could never help like someone helped me last year, but I'd love to reciprocate by contributing to someone's well-being on a smaller scale.

    I also believe in helping others. I believe that what goes around, comes around.

    Two homeless men were sleeping outside McDonalds in New York the other day, so I walked in and bought two medium sized hot fries, one for each of them.
    (I was going to get coffee, but wasn't sure how they had it)
    I walked outside and gave the fries to the men and one of them said "Thanks, but I don't eat that McDonalds rubbish" Lol
    So the other man had both lots. It was the thought that counts, right
