You may have been born into poverty, but poverty is not born within you......


MADONNA'S giving her favorite Dior shoes to charity...let's ALL pledge to give something away this week, too......

Madonna will donate a pair of gold "skyscraper" Christian Dior heels to be auctioned off at the Ovidiu Rom annual ball--with the proceeds going to Gypsy child education.


In the spirit of her Madgesty, can you pledge to give away at least five items from your own closet this week?  Even if you find yourself in a perpetual state of "nothing to wear" I'm guessing there are at least a few T-shirts or old sweaters that you can say goodbye to.  Will you dolls join me in pledging to donate something to charity this week? Will you promise to take 10 minutes out of your day to grab something from your closet and drop it off at Goodwill or your local women's shelter on your way to work? Your church is a good place to give also as they are most likely involved in providing for the homeless & needy families...will you follow Madonna's lead and get in the giving spirit? Let's all pledge to give something away this week!
