One bit at a time...

My friend Jessica told me about Kiva roughly 6 months ago. I kept the link in my gmail inbox, and every once in a while I would look at it, think that I should do something, and then close the window. That stopped today when I donated $25 to help a Mexican man grow his business at his grocery store so he could support himself, his wife, and their three children. You think, well it's only $25, how can that help someone. It's amazing, that if everyone would donate the $25 that they have to spare to different individuals at Kiva, small business owners, or families around the globe would be able to solidify their place in this world and would be successful. You get your money back in the end, but nothing is greater than the sense of gratitude that these people will give for your small contribution towards their long term success. Everyone should donate to Kiva.
