A story of inspiration and faith during these troubled financial times.


Jobless woman finds generosity on the streets
By Jim Spellman, CNN
May 7, 2010 9:18 a.m. EDT

"Denver, Colorado (CNN) -- When Shay Kelley lost her marketing job she got worried. When she lost her home and her car she got mad.

"I went off into the woods and I started yelling at God," she says. "I didn't know why God would lead me up to this point in my life just to have me left with nothing."

"I was like, 'Just tell me what my purpose is, tell me why I'm here and if you'll just tell me I'll work harder than for anything I have ever worked for anything else in my entire life.' "

Within weeks she had her answer: Travel to all 50 states in 50 weeks. Collect canned goods for charities along the way and take a ton of pictures. She has dubbed it Project 50/50."

Bless her heart.Its a shame that she had to lose all she had. But there will be lots of people benefiting from her losses, paying it forward in a wonderful way
I wish her luck and Im happy to see that compassion is far from dead.

Yeah...and she got it free. My guess is all she had to do was CNN's tell your unemployment story thing and went from there. CNN approves all stories before publishing them. BINGO! Free marketing opportunity when just pushing resumes isn't working.

Now, I think what she is doing is great and damn that's smart as hell to get your name out like that, but let's call it what it is.
