Social Media for Social Change

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. — Mother Teresa

Good News of the Day:
Kecia Cruz’s son had been sleeping on a cold linoleum floor since returning to live with his mother nearly two weeks ago. Cruz has served time in prison and her son is a recovering drug addict. Cruz sees her child’s return as a second chance. She didn’t want him sleeping on the floor, but she didn’t know where to turn. Her neighbor had an answer: Beremedy — an organization that utilizes social media such as Twitter, Facebook and blogs to streamline the donation of food, clothing and furniture to people in need. The name is a short way to say “you be the remedy for someone in need. Within 15 minutes of posting Cruz’s need, a hairstylist with a spare mattress responded. In the spirit of generosity Beremedy connects the dots this way multiple times a day — every single day. http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=4638
