Aside from any personal contributions I have made to St. Jude's, I am pleased to say that I was able to raise $10 net in 2009 for them with my soda can tab saving efforts. It would be phenomenal to beat this amount in 2010 and with a few more families helping us in this cause - totally achievable!
I REALLY hope 2010 goes more smoothly than 2009. It has personally been a very trying year for me and my family financially. I am fortunate to have a job, but at half the challenge and pay that I would normally be matched with (isn't that what they call being "underemployed"?). And personal savings is at an all time low because I refuse to not pay my bills. But, I am very fortunate that everyone in our family seems to be healthy. Compared to a family that has to seek treatment for a very sick child at St. Jude's, we really have nothing to complain about. If anything, the adversity in 2009 has caused me to care more about fundraising for my pet charity.
Happy New Year and Better New Year to all!
