Okay, doing my bit because its the right thing to do!

Usually when a person Blogs it is usually some musing over a thought or sometimes even a rant about soem great inequity. But occasionally, one is given the opportunity to Blog in the spirit of helping another person help others.

I am a huge fan of actress/novelist/director and all round nice person Amber Benson. I've given my reasons for this before so I won't repeat them but one of the reasons is her undeniable compassion. She is quite willing to give up profit for herself if it means helping those far less fortunate.

A case in point is her latest Blog which I link here for all to read:

Now for those of us who know her this Blog and her decision to seel the Tara dolls to help the hungry comes as no surprise. Amber rarely does large-scale publicity stunts, but rather just puts her money where her mouth is and leads by example. She could make a lot of money for herself with those dolls, but instead has chosen to give that money (and I'm fairly certain she will have made a donation as well) to those who are not as fortunate as she. No glory seeking stunt this, but the genuine act of someone who genuinely cares about the people around ehr and the world entire.

Now for those who feel that $100 is a bit too much to give away then I provide here a link for people to make a direct donation: https://www.lafoodbank.org/ssl/financial_donation.htm

Amber has not told others to do, but rather has set the example that I hope others reading this blog will follow.

So please support this very worthy cause and buy a doll or make a donation. Thank you!!
