 “I was looking through the “wanted” section of an online advertising website hoping to find someone I could help or send a Smile Card to.
I found a single mom with five children asking if someone could drop off some firewood so she could keep her children warm through the snow storms we have been having.
I couldn’t drop off firewood but I e-mailed and asked for her mailing address. I mailed her a gift card to a supermarket in our area and of course enclosed a Smile Card. I hope it helps!” — success

Do you realize that a third of the world’s human population isn’t going to have fresh bath water or fresh drinking water? And look at this! I’m wasting it washing my car! The only antidote, I believe, is realizing that I’ve got to give back. And I’m already making the highest spiritual thing I could make,” Wagner says. “So why make [art]? Well, I make it because it’s the best I can do. It’s the highest, most spiritually, visually rewarding and enjoyable journey in every aspect.” { read more }
