How many times have you signed an e-mail or passed a forward to make a difference? Have you ever seen those actions result in a positive outcome? Neither have we. Through this site we hope to change that. By asking everyone who visits to donate one dollar, we hope to raise enough money to fund a mission that brings food and supplies to Iraqi families. Yesterday, our dollars bought at least 80 million Americans fast food, 15 million cups of coffee and 4 million movie tickets. How was life in Iraq?

Our dream won't come true over nite. But, this site brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality. Think of ways you spent a dollar yesterday. Why not make today different. |
