It has been three days since I have started my mission, and I already feel as if some weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Recently, I have come in contact with a few people in my community that have had tragedy strike their lives and been left with nothing. Once, these people had a home and possessions that were a collection of memories and sentiment, but fire destroyed all that they had. Now they are left starting over with nothing. Its been devastating for their psyche but some people have come together to help them along during this devastating time. The things that we take for granted that we use and need every day, people like my friend are left without. Life becomes difficult and it becomes expensive to put life back together to resume some type of resemblance of normal day to day life.

In response to my new mission, a good friend of mine had provided some information for one of many organizations that look to share items that they no longer need to help raise money for Lupus research. I have looked into this organization and believe that it is worth looking into for people who wish to help and share their possessions that they no longer need.

As this entry comes to a close, I send out my third possession and feel one more weight lift off me. So many days of giving ahead of me.
