The last couple days

Hey friends! Well we've been able to do some good I think in the last couple days thanks for sharing :)

Yesterday we shared $90 to help pay a guy's rent. He'd been stressed trying to pay off a ticket so that they wouldn't drag him off to jail (which was a real threat) and he just got that paid off, so he should be in a little better shape now.

We also gave a good friend $10 so that he can have trolley fare to work the next few days.

Today we gave a family $125 to help with their bills.

So there is a family with electricity, a man who can ride to work instead of walking a long way, and a guy who can sleep inside because of y'all and your sharing...muchas gracias!!

Oh yes and one other thing, we gave a guy $10 bucks so that he could give the people he was staying with some money so that they'll continue to let him stay there.

we have 8 bucks in the purse right now...which is cool...I'm happy with how it's going

Mission Statement

To share wealth with those in need in our community in a simple, neighbor-to-neighbor fashion.

We are trying to believe in sharing wealth instead of hoarding up wealth, not in word but in deed. And this is one way we do it.

Gandhi said that there is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. We are trying to respond to that in a small way.

Many of the people who we share money with are part of our potluck meal community at Neal Park as well as our Pilgrims in the Park church.

The money is to be shared for any need. All money spent is listed on this blog.

How to give to this

This account is a checking account in Dan's name.

PO BOX 2343
Bryan, Tx 77806

Checks need to be made out to Dan Kiniry

It's not in an organization's name because we don't have an official organization.

You can also give money directly to Dan. He promises not to steal it. It might not be optimal, but it's just a lot easier than starting a non-profit with positions and stuff. If you have any ideas of how to make this more better, please do share.

It's probably just as good or better just to directly help someone out, skipping over this fund. We have this fund because needs come up really often and this will help us meet those needs as they come up, since people often bring up their needs at the potlucks on the weekends.
