do you want a new book AND help feed starving people??
***sorry if it was confusing! THIS is the auction! leave a comment with your bid! and i'll mail it to anywhere in the US!
i ordered 2 of this book.
Scared by Tom Davis.
without realizing it.
it was just released and i had ordered it off Barnes and Noble with a gift card...and off Amazon...
just got them both in the mail.
i just started it last night.
it's NOT going to be an easy read.
it IS a novel. but about very real...very hard stuff.
i sat down to list the extra copy on Amazon...and decided to do something different.
i've been reading different people's blogs over the last couple days posting about these children.
they live in Uganda.
and they are STARVING.
as in...they will DIE unless someone does something.
and it doesn't require much...
For $0.14, we can feed someone a meal of posho and beans (posho is cornmeal, which is filling and beans are protein.)
$2.86 for 20 days
$1 per FAMILY
$20 feeds a family for 20 days!
{i saved $20 the last couple weeks by not buying my candy addictions...i now know where THAT money is going! and it's easier to NOT eat that candy with this in mind...}
so...you want this book?? we're going to have an auction. whoever bids the highest amount between now and tomorrow night at 9 pm (Eastern time) gets it...and 100% of the money you send for the book will go to these precious, starving people. make sure you leave a way for me to contact you!
if you want to read more...
**the campaign is run through the non-profit Children’s Hope Chest with 80% going directly to food, 20% to administration and money wiring costs. You will get a receipt.
**Brandi has posted more info
**if you don't get the book...still GO and give to these people!

$20
fantastic.
i'll let you give the book to someone closer, though. i'm holding a yard sale this weekend with a fundraiser section. if i get a bunch of cash already for the 3 organizations i am pledged to, then i will send some to you.
btw, cinnamon. i was remembering this morning that cinnamon helps my sugar cravings. real, organic, bulk cinnamon. it's the sweetest. and it acts like an anti-depressant in the brain/ seratonin.
okay, on task...thanks for blog.
