27 minutes

I am not a political activist.
I do not make a habit of using this blog to promote campaigns.

But...
I am a mama. My babies are everything to me.
I cannot fathom putting them to bed every night with the fear of them not being there in the morning.
Some mamas live that way.


We all have 27 minutes to spare.
How much time everyday do we spend reading blog posts about slipcovers and coffee cake?
Just watch this...it's an amazing cause and beautifully done.

I know what the critiques will say, that this organization doesn't use their funds well or the right way.
You can read their answers to the critiques HERE.

Sometimes the "life isn't fair" card is too easy to draw.
Sometimes we need to look beyond our bubble. I'm guilty of this often.
Sometimes there is something we can do...even if it's a little thing...like sharing this on Facebook or a $5 donation.

I am officially moved.
I look at my kids and see their innocence.
A lot of kids are not that fortunate.
Maybe we can do something about that...
