Day 142 - Global Giving Day

One day only.  On March 16th, Global Giving had $75,000 available in matching funds which could be used for any of hundreds of organizations.  The limit was $1000 per individual or project and the choices were varied, from local to international.  I chose Synergy Services, a youth resiliency program and bought them a personal hygiene kit with products for homeless youth in Kansas City.  Mostly living below the poverty level and uninsured, these kids have hope and nurturing if they're lucky enough to be part of a network of educators, social workers, and case managers who help get them back on track.
