RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 12/3/17>… I’m not asking for the shirt off your back, but please donate…
Great idea @sultnpapper, it's certainly time for a wardrobe clearout with summer starting in South Africa! It's actually a disgrace that I have a summer and a winter wardrobe and don't wear half the stuff yet there are many people walking around in rags. I normally donate to our workers or the SPCA (Society for Prevention of Cruelty to animals) but still hold onto things I may use 'one day' & that day often never comes!
I'm the same when it comes to writing, tend to digress off the topic as I get distracted by all those thoughts rushing below the grey hairs :) Thank you for this! @krazykrista did a post on kindness and I believe your post qualifies:

Don't beat yourself up now, having winter and summer wardrobe's isn't a crime, at least not here where I live, I don't know about South Africa. It sounds like you make good choices with yours going to your workers and charity. It was just a friendly suggestive thought, we have limited closet space so we do this a couple times a year. We are a family of six so we almost do it out of necessity, the kids outgrow stuff pretty fast. It would surprise folks how many children are homeless and depend on these shelters, we always think of the homeless here as mainly men, war vet's with mental issues, but they are just one piece of the puzzle of the homeless landscape picture.
It's a great suggestion & a reminder for many of us to pass on unnecessary stuff that's collecting dust but could help other's less fortunate. There are many homeless people here as well. Thank you mr Papper!
Your welcome, thank you for kind responses.
