Shelter. Are You?
I always wanted to set up a charity.
When my father died in 2003, I wanted to set up a charity for him. I could not explain the motivation. I just needed something to remember him by, for his name to remain and stand for something great and good. I looked at the website of my university and found out that for USD$1,000 per semester, I can do that. But it did not happen – it was probably because I did not have the support or the money I needed or I eventually talked myself out of it. But I had the strong desire to really do something like that and I often talked about it to my husband.
It is ironic because this year, we were the charity.
Let me explain.
