Comment: Charity and Moneywalking
Finding nine dollars in quarters is a bitter sweet
experience. Someone was very sad when
they discovered their loss; and, for the MoneyWalker nine dollars is really
very little, maybe three gallons of gas.
Thus, the money from the very beginning has been split between two
charity causes—The Baptist Friendship House for Battered Women and their
Children, and the University of New Orleans Homer L. Hitt Presidential Lecture
Series. Although the people lose their
money are unaware, I’m sure they would be very happy knowing their money was
used in these altruistic ways.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
The MoneyWalker.
