Let me
begin this by saying that in order for this to work I have to tell you
that I do not PROMISE that I will do this. It is just what I WANT to do
because I hate that so many people struggle; my friends and family; people I see
in the news. There is no guarantee - but see the
section on Comparisons to Real Life
before you give up on
this!

THE BASICS OF MAKE A LIST GIVING
Here are the basics of how my giving plan
works.
If you choose to be a giver, send
a check made out to Chuck
Graves
for $31.00 to GFG, PO Box 422, Barre, Vt.
05641 along with a note that reads "Please accept my gift", or write 'GIFT' on the memo line
on the check.
(The check needs to be made out to Chuck Graves because there is no group
or organization officially named Good Faith Givers. Also,
your gift MUST INCLUDE the note that says Please Accept My Gift, or write "GIFT' on
the memo line on the check. If it does not I will have to send
your check back to you and it will delay the
process.)
Since your check is
a gift, it becomes my money and I can do anything I want to with it. I can use it all to
pay my bills --- or --- I can just keep $1.00 of it to pay my bills
and put the other $30.00 into an account I will call the 'Giving Pool'. At
this point you don't HAVE to do anything else. (But if you
want to pass the word about giving I can't stop you.) As new givers help
me pay my bills their money could go into the Giving Pool. The bigger
the Giving Pool the more money I have to give to people on my list of givers.
Money has to come in before it can go out. If
you decide to give me $31.00 I will put you on my giver's list for one year.
If you give another $31.00 at the
end of each year you will remain an active giver on my list for another year
and your level of possible receiving will continue.
I will, probably, want to continue to send people monthly checks
as long as there is money in the 'Giving Pool'. If people stop giving and
the money runs out I will not be able to give anyone anything even if I want
to.
I
can't help people if there is no money in the Giving Pool. I can't make a
list of givers if there are no givers.
THE GOOD NEWS IS, THE GIVING HAS BEGUN AND THE GIVING POOL ACCOUNT IS NOW
OPEN.
