This holiday season Marketplace will explore the impact the recession has had on our individual needs, on philanthropy, and on how we see ourselves. Have you had to ask for help for the first time this year? Have you given assistance to others?
(When we say “help,” we mean financial, psychological, spiritual, housing, or any other kind of assistance that you might need to help you live the life you want to live.)
If you’ve asked for help, or if you’ve given for the first time this year, Marketplace wants to hear your story. Click here to share it.
