Wishes and Angels.

I have come across a website, called www.wishesandangels.com which seems to operate against the usual 'gimme' culture of our modern society. We are so used to looking after number one, that we sometimes forget that there are many, many people in much worse situations than ourselves.


This website is quite revolutionary, because it gives the ordinary man or woman a chance to make a difference in someone's life by donating as an 'angel' to other folks 'wishes'. And here's the good bit, you can look through the 'wishes' and decide which one or ones you want to help! If you take a look, you can see real need, and help, or decide it's not for you. It's totally voluntary.


I like the thinking behind the operation. Many people can give a little to build up the fund to provide something which is needed, or maybe even just wanted. The real benefit in the process, to me, is the chance to give, and not just look for something to get. Oh, by the way, you can even ask for something yourself as a wisher, and if enough people sympathise with that wish, it can be granted by other angels too. It's effectively a two way street. It deserves to succeed.


The cost to join is nothing. The price of helping to grant a wish as an angel is a mere £4. Yes, that's right, £4. Now you tell me what £4 can buy you? Not a lot, but it might just be enough to buy someone less fortunate some happiness, and make them smile. It might just bring a smile to your face too. Go on, you know you want to! Log on to www.wishesandangels.com and take a look. The most it could cost is £4, but it could change a life for ever, maybe even your own.
