Why Am I A Part (David Kelly)

I love what we are doing here at Forgotten Stories.

This company is a powerful step forward to make the help for those suffering in incredible poverty or slavery etc, a way of life. Everywhere we turn non profits are asking for our help especially in the wake of the tragedy in Haiti. Totally necessary and understandable, but our vision for Forgotten Stories takes things a step further. Intrinsic in the very business model are resources to help someone. When the business does well, more people are helped. Win win. As much as my wife and I believe and practice giving our finances, this idea of connecting our success in business directly to the impact we can have on someone else is fantastic. I record and mix audio for television as well as albums and cannot help but get excited to know that the projects I work on are making a difference in peoples lives.

We all need clothing obviously.

A love of music is a part of who we are as human beings. The purchase of things like this that we would normally get can now make a tangible difference in someone else’s life. What’s not to love?

So I encourage each of us to pay attention to those around us and what is happening in our world.

The needs seem overwhelming and at times can be discouraging as we think “What good will it do”. However I would argue the child in an orphanage or city dump that receives a shirt would disagree. Or the girl in Greece being saved from years of sexual abuse and degradation might think otherwise. All we can do is focus on helping one person at a time. Make a difference with one choice at a time. That’s how real help is brought. One at a time.
