The David of the Bible and I actually have something in common. We both faced a Goliath. David faced a giant of a man who threatened his people and I am facing a giant of a problem in the form of poverty. I am not rich or poor. I just have enough. I raised my children to take care of themselves and others. None of them are rich, but all of them work and support themselves. My wife and I work to take care of ourselves. We also help others when we can.

It all started a few years ago when someone saw me shopping in a department store and noticed that I kept putting things back. I was going through a tough financial time. That man watched for a while, then came up to me and handed me a one hundred dollar bill. All he said was, "Pay it forward." When I got home I immediately told my wife what happened. Right then and there she and I agreed that we needed to pay it forward by helping others when we could and after we got back on our feet we started doing exactly that.

"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." I Corinthians 13:13 KJV Bible

Help us help them... PAY IT FORWARD with a donation of any size...

URGENT NEED ALERT: We are trying to help a family in Indianapolis to avoid being evicted. The husband is a veteran who is sick and out of work. The wife just started a new job and is waiting for her first paycheck. We need to raise $500 by the end of this week. This is Pay It Forward month, so it is a great time to help someone in need by helping to pay their rent. Give as little or as much as you want.

Help us support needy families in the Indianapolis area. These include people who through no fault of their own have been placed in poverty due to traumatic injuries, illness and other causes. We are currently helping eight families including veterans, those with needy children and disabled people. We're helping them all with CASH and LOVE to become self-sufficient. Pay it forward today with any amount and feel better...

Everyone needs help once in a while and that means more than just prayer. Christians are called to action and that is why we offer these suggestions to you. Sadly, we cannot help everyone that needs it and we are currently doing all we can to help people referred to us. The good news is that help is available with things like food, some bills, rent and other needs in most local areas. Begin by googling (lists of local) Food Pantries, Rent Assistance, Utilitiy Bills assistance (Community Action organizations exist nationwide in the USA and offer help with gas and electric bills and sometimes rent), Emergency Housing, free Child Care, free Clothing, free School Supplies, free Furniture, free Meals, free Christmas Gifts and free Transportation (many cities offer free bus passes to the disabled or those receiving any sort of government assistance). Your local Salvation Army offers a number of helpful resources including free gasoline cards when they are available (usually early in a month until they run out). The Volunteers Of America also offer helpful resources. Organizations like LOVE INC. (Love In The Name Of Christ) exist in many areas and offer free services and items through donations and volunteers. You can also call any number of local churches in your area. Most churches keep some sort of a list of helpful organizations in your area.

This is PAY IT FOWARD Month here at the David Bradford Fund

We're getting ready to expand from helping just eight needy families to as many as twenty five with your help. We know who they are and that they need help, but it is up to you to send a donation of any amount to provide the funds we need to get the job done. These include veterans, individuals and families down on their luck. We do not provide photos of them to protect their privacy and help preserve their self esteem during tough times.

Questions and Answers

Q: Are my donations tax deductible?
A: No. We are not yet a tax exempt organization. I hope to get there sometime in the future, but right now I am putting all my efforts and any cash that comes in into helping people rather than paying for lawyers, offices and so on. You don't need the government's blessing to help people... just the desire to do good.

Q: Can I get help from your fund?
A: Not at this time. Rigth now we are helping people in the Indianapolis (indiana, USA) area referred to us by Churches, Veteran's Organizations and others. We hope to do more in the future. However, the good news is that we are making a difference and helping people to become self-sufficient.
