“Countless wishes come across our radar, if we do not respond to them who will? We have the greatest impact on those around us, we should seek out these opportunities
eagerly. If we deny the request of a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member and subsequently send a check to another cause outside of our network, then what good is our association within our own sphere? Where is the integrity of our mission to give and nurture within our own relationships?” ~ Chris W Metz, The Road Out Of The Abyss
