While ilovetv does not seem to have compassion for others - he or she may be the most compassionate person on Earth but just does not express it well.

I also love The Villages and our lifestyle here. We are very fortunate to have worked, saved, and been lucky enough to land in this slice of Heaven. However, we are a bubble here in the midst of some mighty depressed area. Take a look at Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Okwalha, Lake Weir, and some of these close-by places. There are people that need help.

Even if you do not think the slashing of the Women, Infant, and Children aid program to fund corporate farm subsidies just about borders on the immorality of the House of Representatives, I hope you have the compassion to do something to help families in need. This can be done through contributions to area food banks on a regular basis, special donations through your churches, and attending programs such as Seeds of Hope.

The VIllages has a great record of charitable giving. Please keep it up.
