While at the store, something dawned on me. I have money. Not much mind you, being a university student and all, but I still had money. I am able to buy the things I need, whether it be food, clothing or school supplies. I am lucky enough to have that privilege. Some are not. It's hard not to think about the under privileged people who have to suffer unfairly each and every day, and especially at this time of year. So why not lend a helping hand and send some love and support their way. Food drives, toy drives, clothing drives, and money donations all help. Most communities participate in these fundraisers throughout the year, but Christmas time is the most spirited time of the year. So lets so our spirit and take part in these fundraisers. Dig through those cupboards and find those cans of food you'll never eat, search through that closet of yours and find those items of clothing that you know you'll never wear, and look in that attic for those old kids toys you know you'll never play with again. How happy do you think it will make a child for them to receive a toy to play with on Christmas morning? Or a family, with warm clothes to wear for the cold weather? What could be more rewarding gift than the feeling of giving this to someone in need. Indeed it is far from a waste of time donating a few minutes of your time and effort into doing a good deed for the community and ultimately, yourself.
