It's that time of year again, when the many local organizations dedicated to feeding, clothing and serving the area homeless will send their mass-mailing appeals for holiday support. The Boston Rescue Mission just sent a note announcing their current campaign: Complete Thanksgiving Dinner Only $1.92. Who knew that was even possible?!! Clearly it's not like Thanksgiving dinner at Nana's, but equally clear is that a small amount of money goes a long way in certain circles where folks are just trying to put the basics on the table. How can a family as fortunate as ours not contribute? Happy to oblige.Can one family of five, plus two grandparents, combine efforts and commit to one act of service each day, for one year? Paul, Patricia, twins Bianca & Olivia (age 18), Sophia (age 11), and their Nana and Buppa, plan to honor the 10 year anniversary of the loss of my sister with a year dedicated to service. Together, with maybe the help of a relative here or there, we will commit to 365 days of volunteering,contributing or supporting, in appreciation of what we have.... and who we have lost.
