I am with Sky on this one. I contribute to my own community. Depression is way up as I know that thousands of jobs have been lost in my area. It is heartbreaking to see.
My home city is the number one big city now known to be the poorest in the nation. Pawn shops are just everywhere.
Like my mom used to say to my father..."Charity begins at home". I admire your gusto, but I feel a little differently about how to respond.
Take good care!
