What Would You REALLY Like to Do?

I have often fantasized about what I would like to do if I didn't need to have a job and make money. My dream has always been to start a foundation. It would be called the "Everybody's Got a Story" Foundation. There are plenty of big foundations that give away millions. I am thinking on a much smaller scale. This foundation would let every day people tell their story and their immediate need. It could be as small as a new pair of shoes for one of their kids, rent money for a month because they have been sick, the makings of a birthday party for their child complete with hats, horns & the ingredients to bake a cake. Nothing earth shaking except to the person who has the need. We can do small things with great love (Mother Teresa) and by making that small difference to someone, we remind them & ourselves that people DO care about other people. Some of these people may pay back the foundation when they could afford to do so, thereby helping to continue the good deeds for others. Giving feels better than getting. A girl can fantasize, can't she??
