An ActiveRain Stager Takes Action

James Frazier, of A Defined Design, took the Rain For Change message to heart and started acting immediately.

"I began a project," James said, "that I am giving away to a person who needs some help. She is a nurse who is holding down a full-time job and then going to college on the weekends. She is trying to sell her house and move to a small condo, but she really does not have the extra money for staging. Her house is a very low priced home, so there are no great expectations about profits upon sale."

James saw this as a way to use his staging skills for a cause - a very personal cause. "The Rain For Change concept inspired me to actually do something to help out people in need. I offered to do this one for free. So your efforts have already helped at least one person."

This is a perfect example of how one person can make a difference. How can you use your skills to help out someone truly deserving a lift?

I am very happy James gave me permission to share this. He sent this to me in a private email and I felt strongly about sharing it with others. He agreed and I'm glad he did. Thank you, James.

Jeff - you move quickly and I love it. I found this through Bloodhound Dog (did I get that right?). I love the idea of hope and change and glad to have contributors.
You and Rocky are awesome - hope to meet someday soon.

Ines, thank you. Bloodhound Dog is funnier. It's BloodhoundBlog, but I'd stick with yours! :) Thanks for stopping by. We're still in our infancy with this idea, but this is how I see it working in philosophy. Much more work to do.
