Who needs a star?
I was going to make a single donation associated with my favorite org, Modest Needs, but after Skinner's post (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=7027091&mesg_id=7027091) I have decided to donate each day. And since I only need one star, I need 5 people who need stars (please have at least some minimal posting creds). FTR, I am donating the same amount per day that I was going to donate total because I recently had some good news relating to job and finances. So, thanks to the Freeps' goading, my donation has multiplied from $25 to $150. Anyone care to join me?

1. What a great thing you're doing!!!
I donated early because I wanted Planned Parenthood to benefit; I will try to scrape some more together for later this week. ( I don' t need a star - just wanted to say that you're cool.)

DU appreciates your generosity. Congrats on your good news. I just recently found employment myself. Who says there is no recovery?

8. I emailed Skinner to see if I can go ahead and make it now, or
have to wait until day 2. You will be getting your star either way!

14. My pleasure!
If someday you find yourself in a situation in which you can afford to be generous, you can pay it forward. Or, you can pay it back by just being kind to someone who needs it. :hug:
