Thanks so much for this post! Times are tight for everyone and I often find myself feeling that everyone out there is doing better (financially) than we are. I'm sure that's not the case but if often feels that way. I try to cut costs wherever I can and I'm truly inspired by your challenge! We just paid of a TON of debt and then the car broke down. There is no fixing it so we have to buy. I'm thinking this seems like the perfect time to join your challenge!!! I often feel the same way! Thanks so much for this post!

I've been fortunate to find people willing to offer anything from helping research online to making videos and other non-monetary assistance for my daughter's disease awareness.<br /><br />A little means so much to people like myself...what may take 5 minutes for someone to do for us lasts with us forever...

We can also give "time", like babysitting or yard work that frees someone to focus on themselves and not responsibilities. <br /><br />Today, Valentines' Day is a perfect day to do that--babysit for a couple that doesn't have a chance to go out together often. You'll get back more than you'll give!! Great! We can also give “time”, like babysitting or yard work that frees someone to focus on themselves and not responsibilities.

Today, Valentines’ Day is a perfect day to do that–babysit for a couple that doesn’t have a chance to go out together often. You’ll get back more than you’ll give!!

I tell people the little thing you think doesn’t matter can be just exactly what someone was praying for.

I think people think if they can’t pay for all the bills, or do all the work, or take all the hurt away they shouldn’t do anything!
That’s not true.
When your life is in a mess, “little” things are truly huge.
