Love Drop - Meet Jill




"Every month the Love Drop community comes together to raise as much support and awareness as we possibly can. It starts on the website - LoveDrop.us, gets spread across our entire network of blogs, continues through the forums where all our members are brainstorming, and finally lands on the front steps of our recipients. Literally.

At the end of every month, Nate and J$ show up in the town the people live in to deliver this pile of goodness. The money, the gifts, the services, everything! It's all on film, and it all ends with an amazing outpouring of love. And then it starts all over again the next month. Help them, and their flagship partner, Kona Grill, make this drop in Chicago amazing!"


How You Can Help:


This project is all about coming up with creative and fun ways to make a difference for someone. Here's what you can do to make our first Love Drop special for Jill and her family:

  • Join the team - Become a member by paying whatever you want. Even $1.00.
  • Join our blogger network - Blog about our Love Drops once a month! It's easy, it's rewarding, and it REALLY helps spread the word (which in turn helps the families!). Love Drop will give you all the content you need.
  • Give a gift or provide a service - Gift cards, household goods, football cards/jerseys for the boys, web design services, pampering gifts for Jill, etc. (email all ideas/questions to team (at) lovedrop.us, and we'll make it happen)

This is a cause that really means a lot to me guys. That is the only reason I agreed to blog about it. I hope you take a moment to watch the video and consider helping in some way!

Have a great night!

Love Drop!

What on earth is Love Drop? So glad you asked!

"Love Drop is a micro-giving network of people who unite as a community
to help one person or family a month. By subscribing to the team for as
low as $1, we make it easy for our members to change lives in a fun and
tangible way. Each month Love Drop delivers a unique combination of
unexpected financial gifts, personal encouragement and the support of
local and online communities."

I came across Love Drop and was touched by their efforts. As a child and even into my teen years, my family was often "sponsored" at Christmas, and we also received assistance from other sources, probably more than I even know about.

Because of this, I have vowed to do the same some day. Unfortunately, I do not have the finances to do so at this time. So when I came across Love Drop's request for bloggers to do a monthly post on their drops, I jumped at the opportunity to do my part. The very first "Drop" will be taking place this month, and I will be featuring it and future "Drops". 

If you have a spare moment, please check out www.lovedrop.us and consider donating even $1 to this worthy cause.

Thank you!
