I hereby offer Rescuing Providence as the forum for the “White House Party Crashers” to tell their story. I’m offering no monetary compensation for this privilege. In lieu of money, something far more valuable is available.
Chrysalis will read your story. She’s been reading mine for years and always has something thoughtful and encouraging to share. Bernice will read your story and offer her insight into your warped minds that you may or may not listen to. Walt from New Hampshire, Jen from Vermont, Susie and Mark from Great Britain will learn about you.
Justin, the Happy Medic, Jean the poet, Gia the dispatcher and Ambulance Mommy, a proud parent will read about you.
Dozens more will stop by Rescuing Providence, not for a cheap thrill or strange grasp at fame, but to be part of something better than all that. People come here not just to read my stories, but to read what others think about them, to link to other sites and learn about other people. That’s what I love about this blog, and all the others I visit. We’re all proud of what we do, and love to tell our stories, but understand that the people who honor us with their time deserve more than some cheap publicity stunt by disingenuous people, put up for sale to the highest bidder.
So there is my offer, Party Crashers. You won’t get rich, or achieve the fame you apparently are obsessed with. You will get to tell your story to people with a conscience, people who care, and people who matter.
There are a couple of people thru-out recent history (70′s 80′s & 90′s) who did this on a regular basis. But I dont remember such a big deal being made about it….
Geez… they’re late for this party.
