Yes, it's been more than a month since I've last posted. Indeed, it's an entirely new year now. I could, of course, blame the end-of-year crunch at work, the holidays, vacation, whatever...but the fact of the matter is I didn't get it done. And I really do regret that.
So let's call this a 2009 resolution. I'm going to get back on top of this blog and do my best to update it at LEAST weekly. Apologies to all those who have followed this blog...I'll do better. After all, the coming year promises to be a difficult one for many both here and abroad, and charities are going to need our help more than ever.
As always, of course, if you have any suggestions for this blog, or worthy charities that you feel should be featured, please drop me a line at fivedollarheroes@gmail.com. Or if I slip up again and don't post, call me out on it!
Thanks for your patience with me and this blog. Happy New Year, all.
Changing the world on five bucks a week.
This Week's Charity
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial
Donate $5 and help build a memorial to Dr. King and others who have struggled for equality on the National Mall.
Donate $5 and help build a memorial to Dr. King and others who have struggled for equality on the National Mall.
Q: What's a five dollar hero?
A: Someone just like you.
Here's the deal. I'm going to donate $5 to a different charity each week and blog about it. And I'm asking you — yes, you, the person reading this on your screen — to chip in another $5 with me. Then come back next week for another one. And ask as many people as you can to join you so those little donations add up to big change.
