"Get On The Bus"

One of the biggest barriers facing Metro Detroit's needy is transportation. They have the skills and desire to get a job but no way to get there. Now there is a small glimmer of hope in bringing down this barrier.

The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) is partnering with Goodwill Industries, Fox 2 and WJR to give the needy population of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties the means of getting to jobs and job interviews. It is a month-long campaign called "Get On The Bus" that is encouraging the public to donate money here: http://www.giveabuspass.org/

$49 will give one person transportation to and from work or interviews for one month. THE COST OF ONE 10x10 PAINTING!!
$294 pays for 6 months of bus transportation.
$588 pays for a full year of transportation.

With Christmas around the corner, people need a gift that really matters. You could get dumb materialistic gifts for your family members that will end up lost in the closet within a month, or you could help sustain a needy individual's future by helping them get to a job that will provide their houshold with much needed income.

You can even fulfill your family's desire for gifts while still providing support to the Get On The Bus campaign and other worthy causes by purchasing a TenTimesTen painting for a minimum donation of $50.

Or feel free to donate straight to the campaign via the link I provided above.

As always, check back on my site at JohnAzoni.com for an archive of available 10x10 paintings. To make a purchase, simply email me at JohnAzoni@gmail.com.
