You may remember the indefatigable Nate St. Pierre, who started the internet projects ItStartsWith.Us and Love Bomb (you may also remember that I called upon the help of the latter project when I was attempting to get help for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jemyl...and isn't it time to check back with jemyl's website to buy some of her lovely jewelry?)
Anyway, Nate is starting out the new year with yet a new project: Love Drop. Love Bomb encourages people to send supportive blog messages to someone having a difficult time, but maybe my suggestion ofjemyl for the project started Nate thinking along new lines, that some people could really use some practical and financial assistance during a hard time, too.
Each month, Love Drop will promote one individual or family and spend the month trying to find ways to help meet their needs. You can join the network with a very low monthly buy in, as low as $1 a month via Paypal. The network will give the families financial help, but it will also be focused on giving them practical assistance, too, the way that we hooked Ellen up with a local church and found people to help cut her lawn.
( From the FAQ section of the website )
The website also partners with sponsors.
The first month's designated recipient is a single mother who lost her job, then her daughter, and then all of her possessions in a fire:
So if you think you might be interested, check out Love Drop. Again, caveat: it isn't a 501(c)(3) charity, and there are administrative costs, but it is a way you can connect with someone in need and make a difference, for a very small buy in cost. Check out Love Drop at Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Thanks.
