1. God, that made me cry.

We're in such bad shape here, it's nice to see people stepping up to the plate. Thanks for sharing this.

2. I scanned a couple of other cities

and didn't see anything like it elsewhere - I think it was really just the one woman making the offer that sparked all the others.

3. It's beautiful. I think the original woman was from

St. Clair Shores. I've emailed it to everyone I know and plan on doing 2 or 3 myself. Again, thank you for sharing it.

7. I wasn't going to do participate myself

I just thought it was nice how it exploded from the one offer, but after reading your post I decided to chip in and I'm covering one basket + meal now. Thanks for the kick-of-shame in the butt!

I bet craig would be happy to see the site being used like this.

15. Hey, the local news station did a story about it!

I didn't see it, I had to work late, but I'm glad it got some press - hopefully others will hear about it and join in.
