We all know what is going on in New Orleans. We've seen the damage. We've heard stories from different people there who have experienced the worst. We have heard reports from the media there what really is going on. So, no need to go on about what is happening there.
I came up with an idea yesterday and wanted some feedback. Its very fresh and I haven't thought it out too much, but before I do I wanted an opinion. I trust you guys and know there are a lot of logical people here. I think. J/K. There are about 300 million people in the U.S. I know this may sound crazy, but what if everyone would give $1. That would be $300 million. Now I know not everyone in the U.S is able to give $1 for whatever reason. However, don't you guys think at least half of the U.S population can give $1? I was thinking of designating one day very soon (maybe 9/11) as a day where everyone is encouraged to give $1. It can be called soemthing like "Give a Dollar" day. That sounds generic, but this is fresh on my mind. It can be setup where people can drop off their money at area schools, grocerie stores, malls, or whatever from like 7:00 am to midnight. The next day the money will be counted and sent to help those in need. Can you imagine how much money would be raised? I know a lot of people would be reluctant and are greedy, but if you tell these people to give just $1, they might go for it. $1 isn't going to set people back. At least the majority. I think it can be done. It may seem impossible, but I am one who believes God can make it possible. 9/11/05 lands on a Sunday. Most people don't work on Sundays. It would make a huge difference. If half of the U.S pop gave $1, we would raise about $150 million (ball-park). Of course people can give more, but $1 would be asked since most people could give that. It may sound crazy and maybe I am. I just want the people of New Orleans to receive help. This is our country and we should help. Tell me what you think. Sorry if I took up your time with this long post, but it was in my heart.
