I just read that Americans will spend $700 million on Valentine’s Day this year.
For their pets!!
Not their significant others. Not their children. Just for their pets!
I’ve got nothing against dogs and cats, but what if, just this once, everyone redirected those dollars or matched those dollars, with a contribution to a worthy cause? What if we did the same with Valentine’s gifts for beaus and kids?
And what if we picked a cause, collectively donated what has to be well over a billion dollars, and made a serious dent in a real problem?
How about Valentines for Veterans? They deserve our love!
The Huffington Post wrote a great article about how to help Vets back on Veteran’s Day. Here is their list of great organizations that could make good use of some serious money. Pick the one that most appeals to you and send your Valentine dollars off for the love of our Vets!
Wall Street War Fighters Foundation
The National Coalitions for Homeless Veterans
