The Importance of Paying it Forward

This post has absolutely nothing to do with starting a home business but is something very important to me.

I recently received something in my Inbox that really touched me. It was a remarkable story about a family that was down on their luck and close to foreclosure. With the help of friends and strangers, this family received over $10,000 in donations and were able to keep their home.

You can view the post here.

There is another family in need that Jeff Mills writes about in his blog, as well, should any of you be in a position to help.

This story was a great reminder of the importance of doing good deeds.. paying it forward. We don't all have money to donate. In fact many of us are in similar situations to the family mentioned above but if we can do something, anything to help someone out, why not?

Babysit, cook a meal for a family in need. Post to your blog about this family.
Help someone overcome a hardship in their life.
