Take a stand

Posted by thejerseygirl at 07:36 PM on December 06, 2008

I know times are hard lately, with everything being so expensive we can barely stand it. You have to buy gifts for all your loved ones, possibly even some you don't care so much for... but there is a gift that you can give some one, that would only cost money if you wanted it to....

Reach out to someone, Tis the season after all right? Take a stand... "Stand for something or fall for anything" I have so many things i Stand for..

  • Animal rights
  • Childrens rights
  • Breast Cancer Awareness
  • PTSD Awareness

The biggest being the PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder)... one of the biggest things you can do this holiday season, is take 20 minutes, and write a letter to a soldier, you dont have to agree with the war, I don't but anything you're going through trust me when I say, they feel worse. If you want to send a care package by all means, Donate to the USO, help some one you don't know, they dont know you and they are protecting you daily, they easily could die tomorrow, their days are not promised, so show them that someone cares, even if they don't know you for adam, it helps.

Sign up to be a big brother or sister, trust me these kids could need it now a day.

Send money or food to a respectable animal shelter, or adopt a pet from one, dont adopt from a breeder, these dogs and cats in shelters are in their own war, and could die tomorrow, because no one was willing to give them a forever home. Or become a volunteer at a shelter.

Buy a pink ribbon, and wear it with pride, or ANY ribbon! you dont know who you could walk past.. they could be a survivor, or currently a victim, and by you showing support, makes them want to fight another day.

do something! its the best gift you could give, you'll feel good, and you can make a perfectly good stranger happy, even just for 5 minutes, you never know you can make a life time friend out of it.

 

Take a Stand.. care about something, and do something to change it...or atleast try... if no one ever TRIED nothing would ever change.
