But what one person like me, and like you, CAN do is help the children within our own communities. You and I have been blessed ...

Nearly two-thirds of the country's population lives in poverty. It's heartbreaking to think that most of Bolivia's children do not receive even the minimum amount of daily calories they need and suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Many ...

This post is part of a sponsored campaign with The Allstate Foundation and MomSelect. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #PurplePurse Did you know that Domestic Violence affects 1 in 4 US women in their lifetime? That's millions of women affected, but very few talking about it.

How You Can Support the Boys & Girls Clubs of America ~ Give Your Kids the Gift of a Good Future
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a local Boys & Girls Club. I was really impressed by the good works I saw going on in the program. Boys and girls of all ages came to the center after school and were able to participate in all sorts of activities from sports to computers. If it wasn't for the Boys & Girls Club, many of these children would not have a safe, adult-supervised environment to go to once school was out. ...
