What Kate’s Reading…

Definitely check out the #OneMillionProject’s Blog by #OMP Blogger, Mark Huntley-James. In his blog, “Something to Talk About”, Huntley-James discusses his reasons for becoming a member of this organization of writers, artists, musicians and interested volunteers.

His story about how he discovered his mother’s support of one of the OMP’s charities — Cancer Research UK — shows how cancer touches so many lives around the world. Sometimes, we are intimately involved on the battlefield of this category of diseases, but this is not always the case.

Each person deals with their cancer diagnosis in their own way. Some reach out and let those close to them know what is going on during their day-in, day-out fight with it. Others prefer to keep their illness to themselves.

Our bloggers have brought wit, knowledge, compassion, and their own heartaches and battles to the One Million Project. Please take the time to read their blogs and join us in our efforts to support the work of Cancer Research UK and EMMAUS Homeless programs.  ~~ Kate

The Empowerment Program Empowers Homeless Women

Aside

This is a fabulous idea! This organization hires homeless women taking them out of the shelters to train them to make jackets that are given to the homeless.

They also provide training for other careers for those who wish to move on once they are established. We need more ideas like this one. Check out the video and consider donating to help this worthwhile program.

Kate’s Causes — Skid Row Carnival of Love for LA Homeless

I heard about this event in Los Angeles from my daughter-in-law who volunteered. I wanted to help in some way this year. One of my resolutions for 2018 was to work more actively in helping those in need.

LA has suffered so much in the past weeks as a result of fires and mudslides, participating in a small way for this worthy cause was something I could do to help.

Puerto Rican Hurricane Maria Relief

I want to thank everyone who helped assist me in raising funds for the Hispanic Federation’s Hurricane Maria Relief for Puerto Rico.  I pledged to donate all proceeds from the sale of my book Exodus from October and November to the organization.

Unfortunately, the struggles continue for our fellow Americans and it weighs especially heavy on my heart knowing there are families who are still without electricity since Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017.

Can you imagine?  It brings tears to my eyes knowing for many Christmas is another day to survive and not one of celebration.

So thank you once again for helping and caring.
