The blogging and digital community has shown its charitable side and raised over $10,000 to help an Abused wife and her children.
Blogger David Armano started the appeal on his blog, Logic + Emotion, for Romanian immigrant, Daniela and her 3 children who are struggling financially since Daniela filed for divorce against her abusive spouse. At present Daniela, Brandon, Daniela and youngest Evelyn are staying with David as they try to get back on their feet and he appealed to the blogging and digital community to help raise $5000 dollars to support them. At last check they had raised $12,663.60 and rising well in excess of its target.
David used the popularity of his blog and also his connections on social media tool twitter to raise awareness of the appeal and it has spread like wildfire around the social media community. I found out about it through a tweet by someone I follow on twitter and the amount of retweets I have seen already is obscene. The twitter community has taken hol of this story and is showing that even in the hardest economic times people are willing to show their charitable side and help the needy.
