Right now we don't have any money in the purse except for $400 that has specifically been set aside for a particular family's needs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1270842801818892569-5427213612921846407?l=bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/feeds/5427213612921846407/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2010/03/sharing-is-caring.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/5427213612921846407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/5427213612921846407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2010/03/sharing-is-caring.html' title='Sharing is caring'/><author><name>Dumpster Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16287135309393666272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270842801818892569.post-7616418089523601444</id><published>2010-03-17T10:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-17T10:54:50.418-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Yesterday</title><content type='html'>Yesterday we shared 70 bucks with a guy to help with his rent&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1270842801818892569-7616418089523601444?l=bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/feeds/7616418089523601444/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2010/03/yesterday.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/7616418089523601444'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/7616418089523601444'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2010/03/yesterday.html' title='Yesterday'/><author><name>Dumpster Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16287135309393666272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270842801818892569.post-301411590722819294</id><published>2010-03-04T09:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-04T09:11:40.266-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Rent help</title><content type='html'>This last weekend we used 42 bucks of purse money on rent for a lady who has like 7 or so kids.

The first person we went to said she didn't need anything, joked around about how she must look poor or something, and then we moved on.  We saw another friend on the side of the road; he said he needed bacon, eggs, links, bread, and a big soda.  "What kind of soda do you want?"  I asked.  "Whatever kind you get" he said.  So we headed over to HEB, and Mickey managed to get most all of it together while me and Marion parked the car.  I whipped out the community purse card and we spent $13.42&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After picking up Neferae from school we were able to swing by and give our friend the groceries, and he appreciated it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks y'all for making it possible.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1270842801818892569-6989668915727331604?l=bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/feeds/6989668915727331604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2009/11/today.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/6989668915727331604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1270842801818892569/posts/default/6989668915727331604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bryancommunitypurse.blogspot.com/2009/11/today.html' title='today'/><author><name>Dumpster Dan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16287135309393666272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1270842801818892569.post-5664407818020646987</id><published>2009-11-08T13:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T14:05:53.703-08:00</updated><title type='text'>This last week</title><content type='html'>On 11/6 we paid what was necessary for some friends in College Station to keep their electricity turned on to College Station Utilities.  $126.90&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On 11/5 we were able to pay Atmos Energy $267.90 to get a family's gas turned back on after it had been off for several months.

Kind of like kicking someone when they're down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But we were able to pay it, it added up to $401.12.  Isn't that insane?  A family owes $276 and is unable to pay it, and when they go to pay the bill it's now over $400!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's not right if you ask me.  All it required to get it turned back on was a guy driving over there and turning it on, which they had done by the time we got back.  Why does that cost $125?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So right now in the Community Purse we have $191.49, a sizable chunk of which we are going to send to our homeless friend who just moved to Austin yesterday (where he is also homeless) to help him out a little bit while he gets his bearings.

We're going to try and do what we can to help those around us. Many of you know about our weekend potlucks on Saturday and Sunday where we go to eat in the park with our friends who are not as financially secure as some of us are. Through that, we've encountered numerous needs that just seem to be piling up. So many of you have been incredibly generous through helping donate money and food to buy the meals for the potlucks. But now we're expanding our range of service a bit to try and meet some of the other needs these individuals in the community have. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I know everyone is tight on money. We're in a "recession" and most of you are fighting for work yourself. But our friends from the park sometimes need a little help getting their electricity turned back on, or getting groceries or paying a fine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;These are, for the most part, people who have gone through periods in their life that have landed them in a bad position.

It's hard though when they don't have enough money that week for a bus pass to get to work or they come home to no electricity. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Most of these request wont be asking much, if you've notice the post below this. But it's just enough money that they haven't been able to scrape away funds to pull it together. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;For those who know my, I can vouch on behalf of Dan that you're not going to have your money stolen from you or used for bad purposed. Dan has the most giving and gentle hearts and I lived with him and several people for about a year, so I trust him very much. He struggled in his heart trying to figure a way to do this because I know he doesn't want to be in charge of the money or create an account in his name. We've looked into creating a non-profit organization, and it's a little more difficult than you may think. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Some of you may not have the same spiritual beliefs as Dan and I and that's OK. We're not asking you to do this in the name of God or for any religious practices. This is just one man helping another. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;I know many of you are going to come through on this and I just want to thank you in advance from the depths of my heart. Whether you want me to or not, I'm going to pray God blesses you ten fold for each one of your donations. It's a beautiful and loving thing to help another human being. It's amazing how communities can let these individuals slip through the cracks. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Dan and I (&lt;i&gt;and whoever else he gives access to this blog&lt;/i&gt;) will try and keep you updated on where the money goes, how much was donated, who has been helped and maybe a little bit about that person so you can know something about the person you are helping. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Please bookmark, save, whatever you do best, this blog so when you find you were tipped a little extra at work or something, you can pull it up and see what the needs are.
