Kevin Hendricks<\/a> is always finding great ways people can make a real difference. And these two ways don’t take much at all.<\/p>\n

50,000 Shoes in 50 Days<\/strong>
\nAnne Jackson teamed up with Soles4Souls<\/a> to issue a challenge: Buy 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days<\/a>. $5 will buy you two pairs of shoes! Soles4Souls gets shoes to people who need them, helping to keep them safe and healthy. There’s less than a week left in the challenge and nearly 40,000 pairs of shoes to go.
\nBuy a pair of shoes now.<\/a><\/p>\n

Dreaming of a Dry Christmas<\/strong>
\ninvisiblepeople.tv<\/a> is a great site telling the stories of real homeless people. The man behind it, Mark Horvath<\/a>, is working with homeless people in Los Angeles and has seen a need for raincoats. Michael Buckingham of Holy Cow Creative<\/a> wants to send Mark 100 coats. He’s dreaming of a dry Christmas. $4.29 is all it takes to buy a raincoat for a homeless person.
\nBuy a raincoat now!<\/a><\/p>\n

Two great ways to change the world for three different people. Just as a note – I gave to both of these groups. How many of you will match me? What other gifts are you giving this holiday season that will make that kind of impact?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll add one other way you can change a person’s Christmas for under $10.<\/p>\n

Giving Christmas to Daniel’s Den<\/strong>
\nJosh got word last week that there are five women living at Daniel’s Den in Waxahachie, the only homeless shelter for women and children in Ellis County. These five women are not going to be getting anything for Christmas, but Josh’s wife and several other women are putting together several gift packages for the women and I do believe you can still help. Drop me an email to find out how you can participate.<\/p>\n
