Every week since collecting unemployment I’ve made a small donation ($27 – my favorite number!) to a charity. This week, I’m choosing my local hospital Bertrand Chaffee Hospital. Please consider giving a little bit if you can.
Choose any local charity!
I’ve donated to:
- Nate McMurray for Congress
- St. Philip’s Episcopal Church
- FeedMore WNY
- Springville Center for the Arts
- Bertrand Chaffee Hospital
- Once Upon a Hutch – Matching Grant
I’m one of those CRAZY DAMN LAZY AMERICANS who is getting more money on unemployment than I would just working at my beloved nonprofit. So every week I take that difference and spread around the love. STIMULATE!
And support local small maker business friends. purchasing items and many times sending these random items to loved ones. I look forward to this “job” every week.
I’ve purchased from local small businesses (friends):
In the meantime, my beloved nonprofit is STILL waiting for paperwork on round two of the small business loan to bring me back to work. And I cried yesterday when I saw the new website go live (because that’s what I should have been working on…)
I also had sad/happy/proud tears when the weekly email went out this morning. Again, because that is (was) is my job…and I’m so glad they are still doing it, but it should be me. So yeah, this lazy unemployed worker is crying because she misses her work and making a difference.
