A Chance to Help

"Even if it's a little thing, do something for those who have need of help, something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it."

    - Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965), physician, humanitarian

As I've said before, we are blessed to live in the U.S., and I think we should share our blessings with others who are less fortunate. There are many ways to do this, but I saw a few this evening that I believe are worthy of your consideration.

Glenn Reynolds, at InstaPundit mentioned a post by Chief Wiggles, one of our soldiers who is in Iraq. Wiggles has been approached by an Iraqi man who fears for the lives of four children who live near him, and has asked for help. Read about the situation here, then let your heart be your guide.

This man approached Wiggles because he had heard about the work the Chief had been doing for the children of Iraq. Wiggles established Toys for Iraq, a project to collect toys, school supplies and other necessities for the kids over there. It's a worthwhile effort, and I urge you to participate if you can. All the info you need can be found in the link above. 

You may be wondering if Wiggles is legit. He is. Read about him here, or view this MSNBC video clip in which he is interviewed by Joe Scarborough. The download will take awhile with a modem.

I realize my blog isn't widely read like InstaPundit, so I ask each of you to spread the word. Just email this link to those in your address book.
