Dear Friend,

The holidays are a time of giving, but the devastation wrought in the Golf Coast by this year's hurricane season allowed the whole country to exercise their generosity early! We have been touched and inspired by stories of communities and individuals leaping at the chance to help those in need, and thought you might like to hear a few stories too. Because we work by referral, we are connected to a national network of like-minded professionals who passed along some amazing tales of ordinary people giving of themselves in extraordinary ways.

We see it in the Finnegan family of San Mateo, California. John and Therese Finnegan traveled to Richmond, Texas, where they helped find housing for a displaced family who escaped from New Orleans with only the clothes on their backs. The Finnegans arranged for eight rental units to be made available, rent-free for a year, to the family--all 45 of them.

From around the nation, families, groups, communities, and individuals have extended helping hands to people whose lives have been uprooted, battered, and scattered by Katrina. This month's Item of Value highlights several such ordinary people whom disaster turned into heroes. Benton Gibson and sons led by example in repairing their community. Dan Bogojevich drove hundreds of miles to deliver supplies to New Orleans shelters twice, the second time riding out Rita with evacuees in a church. Katherine Breig worked from her home to rescue pets left behind and reunite them with owners. Lisa Vitello acquired a new family when she opened her home to evacuees.

These inspirational stories remind us in this holiday season that giving can be about so much more than traditional store-bought presents. This year, consider digging deep into your special reserve--yourself--to find gifts that both honor the need of the recipient and reflect the heart of the giver. You may be surprised to discover how much you have to give!

Sincerely,

Gregg Maul
