Please Help !!
Kindness begets kindness, that was what my grandmother taught me. As for myself, if you know me even remotely, you will know I’m all gung-ho about doing good and giving back to society. The weekend is here and for some in Asia you are celebrating Labor Day and having a holiday/long weekend. For the rest of us in the West, oh well it’s Friday and the weekend is around the corner. Now that should put almost all of us in a good mood eh? Even though we have to work tomorrow I’m still happy that it’s the weekend and my babysitter will be around to amuse my brat so we can get a few hours of break time.
If you know me, you know I’m pretty easy to please and be happy. Have you made anyone happy lately? If you haven’t then here’s your chance. My blogging friend, Connie, wants a lil’ bit of your help with this.
Communicause is running a contest to give a non-profit a $25,000 Social Media Makeover. My favorite charity is the Disabled Online Users Association or DOUA(http://doua.org). They are in the running. Please help them win!
DOUA helps people with any type of disability work on the internet. This is the group that got me selling on eBay and gave me the confidence to work in blogging now. They are fantastic and offer support on their online training center, on the phone and in person if needed.
You can twitter this: PL RT: Help DOUA, non-profit for ppl w/ disabilities raise money for Social Media Makeover @communicause http://communicause.com #cause1431
Each tweet gets us a vote. You can also go the website and vote for Disabled Online Users Association.
Please let me know if you’re doing this and I’ll add you to my upcoming blog post about this. I’ll be writing updated posts quite often so feel free to vote. The contest ends July 31. I’m subscribed to this thread so I’ll see your posts.
Thanks so very much.
So if you love this blog you can help me and my blogging friend Connie, it will really make my day, and perhaps Lina will send you an email with a secret 
So if you can’t twitter then at least go vote eh 
and leave a comment so that I can send Lina your email addy. I thank you in advance and don’t forget that Kindness begets kindness.

Hi there Ice Cube Junkie and all of you DOUA supporters! You’ve done a wonderful thing in writing this post!
I actually work with MindComet (the company behind the CommuniCause project) and have the pleasure of working on it directly.
I just wanted to drop a note to let you know that you can link directly to DOUA’s share page to let people vote on it even more easily, and on that page, we also have code to display a badge either in a blog post or on your blog template itself. We’re also working on putting out a smaller badge for use as well in the near future.
Here is DOUA’s direct share page: http://www.communicause.com/my-cause/1431
Thanks for supporting DOUA and our project!
