The Healing Spirit
To fill in for Stella today, I'm going to share information about a Giant Giveaway that not only puts you in the running for some great prize packages, but will also make you feel really good about contributing to a worthy cause.
Helping others always makes ME feel great. At the times when I feel most blessed, like during the holidays with family all around me, I feel the need to do more for my community.
in the running for a gigantic prize package!
Like most of us, I have my favorite causes, and children are always at the top of the list. Local to me is the "One Way Farm," a wonderful, caring home for abused and abandoned children. http://www.onewayfarm.org/
The holidays are fast approaching, so I hope you'll join me in giving to the "One Way Farm."
To thank you, for every dollar donated you'll be entered in a special drawing to win an array of prizes.
One entry per $ dollar donated.
Example: A $5 dollar donation to the "One Way Farm" entitles you to 5 chances to win. Identical slips of paper will be used to write the name of the person donating, one slip per $ donated. All of the slips will be folded, and put into a large container.
Names will be drawn at 3:00 pm on December 20th.
* With each donation, please be sure to include:
Your name, address, and if possible, your email address. I will not add your name to any lists, but in case I need to contact you, email is the easiest way for me to do that.
Checks and money orders should be made out to "One Way Farm."
Cash is accepted up to $5.
Mail to:
Lori Foster
P.O. Box 854
Ross OH 45061
I will be unable to provide tax receipts, but you may receive one from the "One Way Farm."
Except for the $1 minimum, it doesn't matter how much or how little you donate: Everyone who donates has a chance for his or her name to be drawn to win.

One Way Farm
What about you? Do you have a favorite place where you like to donate?
Do you or your family have a tradition of helping out at your church or community center during the holidays?
Over the holidays, do you visit the trees set up in the malls to choose the name of a needy child to gift?
I believe that all of us, in one way or another, give according to our ability to do so. Sometimes, all you can give is a friendly hug - but believe me, for those in need, it means so very much.
I hope this giveaway will make it easier for some to donate, and in the process, I hope that donating makes YOU feel as wonderful as it makes me feel.

Bless all of you, and Good Luck in the giveaway!
