Each year during US winter months and I am sure in other places around the world we have two major problems we face but together can change little by little together as a community. As the holidays and the winter come around I can't help but to think of those who do not have someone around for the holidays or do not have proper winter items and could face death if not properly prepared.
That's not okay with me, at all. Every one more than likely knows someone in need, we just have to put a little thought away from crypto's, computers and blogging to realize who in our lives chance not making it this winter. Our family as large as we are have what we need so we donate coats and hoodies each year to local shelters, fireplaces and schools. This helps solve the problem of a few freezing to death. The ones we know of who ask for a hand and are in the right mind to do so. Not everyone is of the right mind to do so. There are many who are either too proud to ask for help or too hardened to society. Be kind to a stranger and you'll be amazed at what comes back your way. Life is a pretty amazing thing when you put others ahead of yourself.

My personal door is always open as well to anyone who needs an ear or advice of a father. I've had a lot of hard life lessons I have lived through to the other side and many that I never thought I'd make it till tomorrow as well. Being human can suck but I promise you if you make it just a little longer, it does all get better
