An elderly gentleman gripped my hand, struggling to speak. He spoke almost no English, and I don't speak Spanish, but he wanted to thank me. I had just changed his life and he could not tell me how grateful he was. Tears formed in both our eyes as we both smiled and shook hands. The gentleman left with over $9,000 coming into his bank account, and I turned to my next client.

I want to tell you about an organization that I'm proud to be part of that is bringing real money into the city where I live - Chicago. Not that Chicago is unique in this matter; this is something we can all do. But this organization embodies the best of grassroots organizing to make people's lives better.

Hi All!

This is my first-ever diary, although I’ve commented here and there on DKos.

Weight loss has been an important part of my life for the last 16 months, so when iriti suggested this group, I was glad to jump in and help.

I’ve been able to lose 100 lbs. in the last sixteen months, and although I still have a ways to go, I consider my journey a success so far. I got a couple requests to tell you all how I was able to lose weight, so here’s my story.
