Giving to Others When You Are Down And Out

Well, Maybe not completely down and out. Reed Sandridge has a mortgage on a D.C. condo yet he is giving away $10 per day to strangers in need. No strings attached. He says he learned of this generosity from his mother. Mr Sandridge is unemployed. How many people are willing to give knowing that they will be taken care of. thats giving away $3,650 over a one year period not knowing if you you will have a job or be able to pay your mortgage. You may not think $10 a day is much but it can make a difference. My bet is that the Washington Post article below will have employers wanting to talk to him. He's on the front page of the "Metro" section. Even if it doesn't, you never know when the $10 you gave to a CEO in need (maybe he left his wallet and needed subway fare) won't get you a referral in return. Its always better to give than to receive. The article from the Washington Post.
