Did you know that more than two million people who live in a country as wealthy as the United States live on two dollars a day. For many of us of us that’s less than we spend on a daily cup of coffee. Today is a great day to balance out the karmic scales because it’s Donate a Day's Wages to a Charity day, celebrated on the second Wednesday of every May, which is today. Giving back to the community helps provide much needed relief to those who need it most.
