CHARITY
Each
month, 50% of any profit Debi receives will go to help those less
fortunate. A "mom of the month" will also be chosen monthly based on
her best efforts in making lasting, lifestyle changes. Besides
recognition in the monthly newsletter, the "M-O-M" will have the
opportunity to decide to which charity Debi's profits will go. For
moms who don't have a favorite charity, here are some great ideas:

suffering
