This was written by an amazing and caring person that traveled with us to Costa Rica…

“It’s funny how life works.  Every day you wake up, read the newspaper or watch the news, see all the stories about children and hunger in the world, feel pity for 10 minutes, and then get back to your usual life.

At least that is what use to happen to me, until people of LifeGivingForce opened my eyes.

They showed me how easy is to make the difference.

We have heard about the phrase so many times, MAKE THE DIFFRENCE, that it doesn’t even bother us.

We watch people on TV that are really making a difference helping in Haiti,  and think, that’s nice, how great, poor people, and THAT’S IT.

Maybe because going to Haiti is not for everybody,  or we think that’s only the job for foundations or nonprofit organizations.

Maybe this will make you realize HOW EASY it is for us to change our attitude towards the problem.

If you donate the same amount you spend in cups of coffee in a week, you could give FOOD TO 20 KIDS FOR 7 DAYS.

Instead of having that meal at McDonalds, you could give 7 KIDS SHOES FOR A YEAR.

Dinning out equals to MEDICINE FOR A VILLAGE

I’m not saying stop your life, don’t eat out, os stop drinking coffee. I’m just saying realize HOW EASY it is to HELP.

I use to think that donating was a waste of time, that there are other people doing it,  that donations were worthless because $ 5 doesn’t make a difference, but I WAS WRONG.

$5 is all the difference in the world for the ones that don’t have it.

Videos, pictures, stories, we have heard all of that,  but have you thought what would you do, if those stories where happening to you………………………..I guess not.

Thankfully most of us reading this are not in that situation, and the way of thanking life and God for this is CARYING,……….. that’s it, ………HELPING, ………as easy as that,  ……….DONATING.

Believe me I’m amazed myself that I’m witting this, I used to think like you, why help?…… others will, and that’s NOT TRUE.

Please CARE; HELP; DONATE; it will really make a difference.

And this time, don’t do what we always do,……think of this for 10 minutes and then forget and continue with your life, this time, STOP SEEING THE BULLS FROM THE BARRIER AND GET INVOLVED, DONATE

ISN’T IT AMAZING HOW LIFE WORKS.”

For all of us at LGF – Thanks Luis, you inspire us all to be better!
