Week 6 EC
The Dreamweavers foundation is a non-profit organization that seeks to aide those in need or want something that is out of their reach. For some this could mean financial aid by means of providing meals or a designated "random act of kindness" could be offering help to others when you are capable as an individual. Helping others is something we can all benefit from because nothing is as rewarding as helping someone in need. I learned through examination of the website that it you do not have to make a million dollar donation to make a difference. Just offering your time shows to the people in need that you care and that is a monumental step in aiding the lives of others. The random act of kindness I chose took place at McDonalds last wednesday. Every wednesday, McDonalds sells their burgers and cheeseburgers for 49 & 59 cents. This is something that most Americans cast a glare of apathy towards, with the thought that most people do not even require the price break to be content in their meal. However, for the vast population of homeless in St. Pete, this is not the case. My random act of kindness for the day was to offer some of my food to a homeless person with the knowledge derived from the Dream weavers organization that my gift would be readily accepted and dually appreciated.
