You got to love Non Profit organizations. I know a few people that are involved in them, manage them and that is their main focus; I really look up to them. Since we are so involved in Scout stuff, one of the main things we need to do is help with community service for at least 6 hours. Last summer we did a project for a group that helps women and their kids get back on their feet after being abused by their partners. It was such an eye opener for me and my son. Even though I have been in a similar situation, it is nice to know that there is help out there and that no one needs to go it alone. We talked to the director and she was such a great person. I cannot name this organization as they are very private so that the abusive person will not find them. They would not even give us their address until the morning of our project. Anyways, many of them are in debt and looking for debt consolidation. This organization will help them with managing their funds, find lower interest rates and basically teach them to live by their own means. They get their own place to live and the security of the organization.

Being Christmas time and all, I feel so very lucky to be where I am today.
