A Buck for Bama - Author Kerri Nelson - Fundraising for Alabama

I can't imagine having my life ripped from me. I look at the pictures of before and after from a place that has been ravaged and I immediately think, are the families okay? I hope no one was hurt in the aftermath.

Even so, with that in mind, I know that there are always victims of forces that are beyond are control.

To see Alabama go from what you see here in the top photo, to what you see below makes you take a step back and say a prayer that God will watch over the families.

Today I am promoting Author Kerri Nelson's  A Buck for Bama. Kerri is a native of Alabama and for her first kickoff on her Charity Blog: Authors Helping Others it made sense that she would start close to home.

Kerri has been helpful to writers in the past with her workshops classes but she also has a personal investment in helping others outside of the writing world. That kind of selflessness is not easy to find these days.

Please find it in your heart to donate to A Buck for Bama. All proceeds will go to Elmore County disaster relief Fund. You can find them on Facebook under Elmore County Relief Fund.

The goal is to reach $1,000.00 dollars. I have personally donated to the site because just like Kerri, I believe in giving back and even if your donation is small, every dollar counts. Donations are easy and set up through Pay Pal where you can donate $1 dollar or a larger donation.

We never know how we affect the lives around us, in some small way, let it be with kindness, love and compassion.
