Wish Upon a Hero

Wish Upon a Hero: Donate Charity to Those Directly in Need
Wish Upon a Hero is a website that allows people who want to donate to charity or needy people directly to them. You can also make wishes for needs of your own.

I saw this on the news the other night and thought it amazingly simple, yet such a worth while project. Through volunteer labor, the organizers have set up a website whereby wishes can be requested by those in need, and granted by those who can give. Some of the wishes are as simple as a card or letter to a serviceman who has no family. Others can be more elaborate. No matter how difficult things may seem in today's economy, one does not have to look far to find someone who could use the kind of help you can give. I encourage anyone who might peek in at this humble blog to click the link below, and see if you can make a difference to someone -- by being a hero. You can even grant wishes based on your own interests and things you may have on hand. For example, I signed up and did a search for people whose wishes included "recipes" or "cookbooks" and found pages of people who had submitted wishes for both. I have an overflowing bookcase full of various cookbooks and would love to get them into the hands of someone who needs them--for the small cost of postage to the recipient, I am able to grant a wish! This is something everyone can do regardless of income or means. And for those who are in need of a wish being granted, you can register your wish too.....many of the postings I read showed that the same individual who was requesting a wish (to be granted) was also someone who had granted wishes to others. Please consider this opportunity to support your fellow man in these challenging times! The first link will tell you about the program, the second is the link to the actual website where you can sign up to be a hero. Thank you in advance for considering this worthwhile effort!
