help a kid

Hey blogreaders, as you are shopping for back-to-school supplies for your very lucky children, please consider donating as little as $10 to a VERY worthy group here in my community.

They are called Mission of Hope and every year they do a "backpack drive" that provides a brand new backpack filled up with school supplies and personal hygiene stuff like toothpaste and hairbrushes. These special backpacks go to poor children throughout rural Appalachia, including here in East Tennessee and Southeast Kentucky.

Just $10 will pay for both the backpack and the supplies to go in it. This year, Mission of Hope plans to give the backpacks to 9,000 children - the most ever. They need our help.
