Who knew that former party girl Nicole Richie was such a giving and charitable person? I think that the way she has turned her life around and started giving back to those less fortunate is wonderful and I applaud her efforts. And apparently she has only just begun helping children - here and around the world.Through the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation, Nicole is launching an online gift registry that will help needy mothers and their children. Families in need can sign up through local social service agencies and submit a list of the things they need for their children. Asked-for items could include cribs, blankets and other essentials. Donors could then look at the registry and choose what they want to contribute. Initially, the registry will benefit families in New York and Los Angeles, but the hope is to take it nationally and then internationally.
I think this is fantastic idea and love the idea of being able to choose a family to give to and personally pick out what they receive. Way to go Nicole!

Kirstie said...I think this is great - the personal connection is a wonderful thing. It reminds me of the Angel program my church runs every Christmastime. The age(s) and gender(s) of children of needy area families was written on a cardboard angel ornament and hung on a tree. CCD classes, families, or individuals in the parish could then take an angel off the tree and get gifts specific to those children. Baskets were made up with a few gift for each child and food items were added in, in an effort to spread Christmas cheer to families who otherwise would go without.
Knowing who was going to be benefitting, if not by name, was always nice. It was alway nice to be able to go out and not just drop a random toy in a box to but to get something that you think would really make a 4 year old boy or a 8 year old girl light up on Christmas morning.
