Sharing is caring

Yesterday was a good day for the purse
There's a family who has been homeless for a long time, a young man and his mother along with his girlfriend and their baby. They've been through hard, hard times but they managed to find a rent man who would work with them and they're in a house!

Yesterday we were able to get their utilities turned on and to put $30 bucks on their power track, this cost 203 bucks.

We were also able to help a man pay his rent, this was $60.

Goodness! Btw the purse is cleaned out, so feel free to give if you feel like you should.

bad news, good news

So sadly 70 bucks of purse money got stolen, it was going to buy some professional work clothes for a friend whom is a very trusted and good friend of our community, but someone stole it from a bag it was in at this person's work. Sorry to those who donated!

But good news, we used 16.23 to buy an oscillating fan for a lady to make the rest of the summer a little bit easier on her. We used 9 bucks to buy some Tylenol PMs for a friend with a hurt back.

Now we have 263 bucks in the purse.

God bless and peace

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.
