Christmas is Coming!

Tuesday, November 14, 2017

Hello email subscribers... my annual trip to Peru to celebrate Christmas with some kids is coming. Here's what I posted on Facebook to hit people up for money. I would hate to leave anyone out, so here you go!

Hello everyone. Every year - around Christmas time - I join some friends in Lima, Peru and we go a few hours out of town and bring a big party to some really, really poor kids. We show up and the kids get some Cake, Candy, Chocolate Milk (it’s summer down there), a show, a wrapped present and (for the first time last year) we gave each of the kids a book to read as well. Everyone (grownups and kids) has a great time and we get lots (LOTS) of tiny little smiles. A ton of them. This year, I am helping out two groups, so I am attaching photos from both of their parties last year. The parties are the weekend before Christmas.

How can you help, you ask? First (and best) would be to join me in Lima for the party. Hit me up if you want to know about travel or housing or restaurants or anything. If you can’t make it, well, we could use your money. Any amount of it. American dollars go a long way down there, and I will make sure that it gets used efficiently. You can paypal any donation to me at: bigrich5@sprintmail.com, or write me for my address for snail mail, or meet me on a street corner for the drop, or whatever. I will pick up the cost of any paypal fees, so 100% of your money will go to the kids.

There are many different ways that people give back this time of year; these groups are no better or worse than any others. If you have any room in your budget – any amount of room – I assure you that you will be paid back ten times over in smiles. PLEASE write or call me with any questions or concerns.

I promise to only hit you guys up a couple of times before the holidays – thanks!
