Hey! It's Just A Dollar!!

http://www.givetheguyadollar.com/ Say what?!
 Listen to this!! I am so excited to be a part of this wonderful new charity! You're going to love it!
About 2 months ago our friend J.C had mentioned an idea to us (Mikey and me) of starting a non-profit organization in the near future. He said it would be a local charity and be aimed at helping those in financial distress. We of course said that would be awesome and if he needed any help, to just let us know and we'd be more than happy to help. Well, a few weeks later he asked if we'd be interested in being on the board of this charity. We of course said Yes!!  (How exciting!!) . The name of the charity is "give the guy a dollar." And that's basically it. We believe that no one person can help with just $1, but together, our $1 can change a life. We ask for $1 donations (of course any more is definitely accepted) and 100% of that dollar is given to the recipient.We,the board members make absolutely no money! None! Not a single one of us! It is truly a non-profit organization. The board consists of a variety of people with one thing in common. We have a heart for helping those in need.
Now. We feature only 6 recipients a year. They get their picture and bio on the home page of the website (http://www.givetheguyadollar.com/) and they get every single penny we raise! They stay on the website, and receive donations for a total of 12 months!!! The recipient owes us nothing!  How does a person become a recipient you ask?? Well they're nominated. That's all. We decide as a board who to choose based on severity of the situation. It really is awesome!!! We also sale T-Shirts ($15) and Bracelets ($2-$5) and all of that money goes to the recipient as well.
Our first recipient is Shawn Butrum! Shaun's bio and picture is on our website right now (http://www.givetheguyadollar.com/) and he has an amazing story!! I encourage you to go take a look. Shawn's church hosted a rummage sale, spaghetti dinner, and silent auction for him and his family all day Saturday. Give the Guy a Dollar was able to attend and introduce itself to the public eye. It was such a fantastic thing to see so many people pull together for ONE cause. Together with the church we raised over $11,000 for Shawn and his family.... in a single day! That is an awesome act of God, and nothing more! 
If you get a chance, check out the website....and if you feel led, donate a dollar to help "the guy"....and if you know someone in need, whether it be from a natural disaster, a terrible illness, or just an unfortunate turn of events, nominate them. It's so easy and could change that person's life forever!....  Hey, It's just a dollar.
