I work in downtown Orlando and have been passing by the same homeless woman every week.She never asks me for money,but always greets me with a smile.
I wrote in a Facebook post,"Each Tuesday,Amy simply said 'Good morning Sir,have a great day.'and smiled.I wear a suit to work every day,so I get asked a lot for money quite often in downtown but never once from Amy Joe." Every Tuesday,Amy and I have lunch together,during which I get to hear how positive she is even though she really has nothing.Last week,Amy dropped a bomb on me—she can't read.She told me how hard it was for her to find work not being able to read.She began to use her collected money to check out library books instead of buying food.This crushed me!
I have been blessed with a family that has provided me with everything that I wanted to do.Amy Joe has not.So I start to teach her to read.I rent one library book a week and we read it together on Tuesday,and she practices on her own throughout the rest of the week.
This post is in no way to make anyone feel sorry for Amy or show off me something good.I wanted to share this because there area lot of people like Amy Joe—not all are hungry,homeless or hurt.Helping someone could be as easy as saying hello and smiling.
I also started a web page for Amy and have raised $ 5,000.The donations will to to food,clothing,a library card, and much more to help the less fortunate in the downtown Orlando area.

A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment. The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 1.
Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways2.After a while, it collects in the sea. And plastic never goes away. Plastic is not biodegradable—destroyed by bacteria or natural processes. Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time. The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants.3.That means harmful material may get into our food supply.
4.Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it. They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly. Plastic recycling programs also works—where old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products. We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use. We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.
The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 5.And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use. By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.
