This year I am forgoing all physical and commercial products for donations to charities, orgs and foundations for the holidays. There has never been a greater need to help fill the gaps the Trump admin has created. No one needs another sweater or toaster. Give the greatest gift of all which is selfless giving to others in need.

here is a great service I use all the time to ensure my dollars are spent well
