The Pass It Forward widget is for The Blocks They have adopted children from all over the world. When they were looking for money to adopt (since international adoption is definitely expensive), a donor kindly gave them $20,000. They do not believe that this gift should end with them and they are now trying to raise $20,000 so that they can give this gift to another family who wants to adopt.
The second widget is for Baby Be Blessed's Give A Blessing. The recipient this month is Kenzie. She has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Sensory Integration Disorder. There is no cure - only therapy. And that therapy is expensive.
Well, this makes me wish that I had more followers on my blog. So that more people would know about this.
THE IDEA
If you donate to EITHER Chip In located on the left, no matter the amount, you will be entered to win a $50 GIFT CARD
What? You want me to tell you WHERE the gift card is for? Here's what will make it interesting. I can't get ALL kinds of gift cards, but I can get quite a few so...if you win the gift card, I will allow you to choose from:
Olive Garden
Best Buy
Itunes
Chilis
AND! If those don't work for you, I am willing to work with the winner. I live near a Shop Rite and a BJs and a bunch of other places. I'm willing to work with you!!
I feel like Bob Barker. And I'm secretly praying that it doesn't go the way my last 'giveaway' did. That was slightly depressing, but I'm gonna try again! :)
HOW TO WIN
1) Donate to one of the Chip In widgets on the left hand side of my blog. It doesn't matter how big or how small your donation. If you donate more than once, comment more than once.
2) Leave a comment on THIS post.
3) Drawing will be on September 19th using random.com!! Let all your friends know!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I hope I really did inspire you to eat - then I am achieving my goal of inspiring people to enjoy and share food. Regarding Kenzie - my son has Asperger's - which is an autism spectrum disorder. You're right that there is no cure-all, but there is a lot that can be done and a lot of organizations to provide support emotionally and monetarily. Also - if friends and family take the time to educate themselves, there is a lot each person can do just by understanding Kenzie's perspective.
