Are you an AM BALLER? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

bb_wolfe · 11-21-2008, 01:15 PM

Consider donating a few benjies to the local food bank today. Lots of families need food and with 2 days off of work for most next week, they'll be in a tough spot the first week of December.

Plus it's thanksgiving and you're cool as shit, donate a few bucks today!

Deliguy · 11-21-2008, 01:20 PM

Great thread +rep

Also a lot of local schools will have gift trees so you can donate a present to a kid who might not get one.

Anyone who spent their childhood dirt poor on welfare knows christmas time isn't always a happy time. Even a $10-$20 gift can really brighten a kids situation.

bb_wolfe · 11-21-2008, 01:23 PM

Deliguy · 11-21-2008, 01:53 PM

damn reading that list was hard. Sad but so true.

Even if you're not an AM baller and struggling to get by there's easy and cheap ways to make a big difference because dropping some change into a goodwill santa's bucket doesn't exactly fix shit.

Food is a huge stress reliever. Even the most caring families can become abusive when theres no food on the table.

You obviously have a computer if you're on this forum. Burn an age appropriate CD and donate that old discman and a pair of headphones. Sometimes when you're young if you don't have to hear the problems the problems don't seem so big. Don't mean to bring personal life into this forum but there's a reason why I'm so into music now. Trust me just do it.

Everyone on this forum is good people though, so I'm sure theres no convincing needed maybe just a reminder.

BlueYonder · 11-21-2008, 02:01 PM

That was a hard list to read, and I can add my observation that the poor pay more for everything, especially and including getting to their money. They often don't have bank accounts so they use check cashing services that take a chunk in fees. Payday loans are the worst of all.

You can make an immediate different by joining a freecycle list and putting your stuff out for people who need it. Yesterday, I posted I had a space heater to give away, and somebody grabbed it within a half hour.

People need clothes, housewares, entertainment, furniture. Freecycling is a great way to help out without spending anything.

abhorrent · 11-21-2008, 02:06 PM

Along with the gift trees you can go to your local post office. A lot of them keep a box of "Letters to Santa" You can pick one and make some kids dream come true. Some of them are really sad.

barman · 11-21-2008, 02:08 PM

you're not a baller if you don't read BAM, HIT 'EM WIT A FREEZE POP! PPC.BZ - GET MONEY + GET PAID.

Anyways, I was actually going to donate time today to the local high school with web design, but it was canceled for this week. It'll be my good deed for the year

Ruck · 11-21-2008, 02:14 PM

We helped sponsor a lift kids hope charity golf scramble awhile back:

Lift Kids' Hope! Charity Golf Scramble | Convert2Media

We have put a point in our business to seek out some stuff like this. We also sponsored tshirts for you good folks here in WF

Doing stuff like this makes you feel better because in the end, marketing and advertising can be such an ugly business. Er something...

My fiance actually grabbed one of my books "Go Green" awhile back and has been saving and recycling water bottles like a motherfucka. She's on some environment kick. I would like to think that since my fatass consumes about a dozen bottles of water a day, I'm doing my part.

Bofu2U · 11-21-2008, 02:19 PM

Usually around Christmas I'll make sure I find a few homeless people that didn't know about the shelters (you'd be surprised) that have openings and get them there. Something my highschool requires everyone to do for graduation (volunteer in a soup kitchen) and it really creates a good momentum.

Bofu2U · 11-21-2008, 02:29 PM

Also wanted to throw this out there... Just got a tweet on twitter regarding a frightening situation regarding a blogger's daughter.

THE DOMESTIC DIVA’S DISASTERS? it's worth a read.

m0rtal · 11-21-2008, 02:40 PM

Great post +rep.

Made some donations not too long ago but just had to again after reading that. Donated some moolah to a food bank around here.

Christmas is just around the corner and they'll be lots of hungry families with nowhere to turn but their local food bank. Let's make sure they have enough food to go around.

Btw, at food banks, cash goes a long way because they get the majority of their food a lot cheaper than us. So if you're thinking of donating just do straight cash rather than going out and buying the food yourself.

Janaic · 11-21-2008, 03:14 PM

Great thread. I always donate money, clothing, anything that someone else may need or want. But I don't just do it around Christmas time, its important to help out throughout the year. Families go hungry during the year, just as much as they do during the Holiday season.

nachoninja · 11-21-2008, 03:37 PM

fleshlights make an awesome donation and help control the population

majorbta · 11-21-2008, 03:43 PM

yea I am about to go on a christmas present run for a local charity.

The other day I took a bunch of old clothes to this guy that lives under a bridge near my condo. Now he is decked out in a gor-tex north face jacket and patagonia fleece. I hope he doesn't get his ass beat for them

Netphase · 11-21-2008, 10:31 PM

Many of those definitions of "poor" listed above could almost be considered "rich" in some parts of the world. TV... a car... beds.... toys... food....

Volume10 · 11-21-2008, 10:43 PM

Great thought. Everybody can give something. BB and Deli are right, if you are on here you are in so many ways blessed already and prob take them for granted. We all do. If you are a noob that is not making money yet, you can still give. Give time. To some children that is more important than anything. If you bank, give money and give time. And if you have children, make sure you incorporate them in the giving so that it becomes a habit for them as well.

turbolapp · 11-21-2008, 11:08 PM

Here's one for those of you with kids.

My son is always bringing home those annoying "fundraiser" pamphlets to raise funds for school. You know the one where you have to go around to all your neighbors or coworkers and guilt them into buying tins of popcorn or cookie dough? All because the kid just wants the crappy2 dollar prize that you got from raising 500.00 and only 10 dollars goes to the school? Yeah major soapbox of mine. My son never understands why we don't want to "help" others and why I always get so angry....

Anyways, here's the point. My neighborhood had a local drop off for the can food drive and we decided to go around and collect cans from the neighbors. We finally did the door to door thing, my son understood that this would directly benefit those who needed it, we didn't feel guilty ( I mean everyone has extra canned goods that have been in the pantry for who knows how long), it was good exercise, and it was fun!

We'll be doing it again soon.

ChrisS · 11-21-2008, 11:10 PM

Donated a shitload of food to the local foodbank today. I even slipped a single packed cigarette in there.

im actually getting some canned goods together to donate today.

I already cleared out my pantry to the boy scout that woke my ass up knocking on my door at 8:30am.

ncmedia · 11-23-2008, 05:01 PM

@wolfe, had to copy and paste that list to a few friends, very real and I can relate to a lot of it from my childhood days... Really great to see a thread like this here +rep.

HarveyJ · 11-23-2008, 09:10 PM

I can't find any info on foodbank's here in Melbourne, but I am probably going to be putting a couple hundred down at the Salvo's kitchen when they start their drive at the end of the month.

Those were the two that got to me. I'm so sick of some of my newer friends not realising why some of my older friends do get upset when we want to go to a nice restaurant for dinner or something, and then just saying if it's a money issue they should stop being lazy and get a better job.

Fatbat · 11-26-2008, 12:03 PM

When I was in school/Scouts/college we would do food drives, recycling collections, and stuff like UNICEF. Now we tend to donate to the SPCA or other rescue shelters every year. Animals need loving care too, and I tend to like them more than people anyway

I think the best way to give is to put together some beer/pudding/granola bar grab bags and go around giving them to the homeless.

Its great to see a thread like this on WF, but I sometimes wonder whether it might be better to help one person to feed themself rather than spreading a few bucks around to feed many for a day. Its that ol' saying about handing out fish or a fishing rod.

For example some guy on BHW has supposedly been teaching a homeless guy AM at the local library.

Hmm... your thoughts?

Now we tend to donate to the SPCA or other rescue shelters every year. Animals need loving care too, and I tend to like them more than people anyway

Joshua Look beyond the obvious Join Date: May 2007 Location: UK Posts: 57 iTrader: 0 / 0%	Its great to see a thread like this on WF, but I sometimes wonder whether it might be better to help one person to feed themself rather than spreading a few bucks around to feed many for a day. Its that ol' saying about handing out fish or a fishing rod. For example some guy on BHW has supposedly been teaching a homeless guy AM at the local library. Hmm... your thoughts?
