read & reblog.
itsnothingpersonal:everyone, i know this blog is usually me just whining about my views on things and how much my life sucks or whatever, but i want to be serious for just a minute. i want to use this blog as a tool to get word out there, in whatever way i can. so i’m going to ask all of my followers to read and reblog this. it isn’t that much to ask.
seeing as the holidays are coming up, i think i might start somewhat of an awareness theme for this blog on sundays. christmas/hanukkah/other holidays are soon, and after a recent conversation, i’ve really started thinking. we are all really lucky people, whether we want to admit it or not. the fact that you’re sitting here reading this means you have a computer or some kind of internet. a lot of people don’t.
there are people who have no home, no family, and no one to share their holiday with. they live outside, in the freezing cold, snow, and ice. because they have nowhere to stay. homeless shelters only house so many people and feed so many people. there’s never enough room for everyone. i’m asking you to imagine yourself for five minutes living on the streets on christmas instead of sitting in your warm family room opening presents. it’s not a happy thought, is it? no one deserves that. no matter what they’ve done in their lives.
so. for every 20 reblogs that this post gets, i will donate a bag of food to some local homeless shelters in my area. for every “like” that it gets, i will donate $1.00 to a local charity or soup kitchen. let’s see what you tumblrers can do.
