I joined Facebook today. I'm not sure if it will help get the word out about this site. But I don't suppose it could hurt. If you're interested in checking out or "liking" my Facebook page, it's located here: Giving Away Free Money Facebook Page.
As you can see, I'm back. Hopefully I'll be updating with news and giving away more money soon.
Thanks everyone.

Let's start summer off with some free money - time to share with some folks who need it
Well, summer officially arrives today in the Northern Hemisphere. So for me, that means summer has officially begun. Three months of sun and generally lovely weather. I'm looking forward to making it a great one.
It also seems like a good time to get back into the giving spirit. I've gotten A LOT of letters lately and have been a bit lazy in following up with personal responses. So to make up for it, I'd like to really help out a few great people today.
Free money recipient #1 goes by the initials "J.S." and is from the province of Ontario, Canada. I am sending J.S. $500.00 (US) for his/her family's use for groceries and possibly for a small family outing to the beach. I wasn't immediately aware they had beaches in Ontario. But I suppose one of the Great Lakes counts. Or perhaps they're heading to the Atlantic coast? I've been as far north as the state of Maine on the Atlantic seaboard and it's lovely this time of year, if a bit chilly for the swimmers.
Recipient #2 is Monica from California, USA. I happened to catch a Beach Boys concert live for the first time in my life recently and enjoyed it tremendously. A letter from the beautiful state of California made me a bit nostalgic for a different era when the Boys sang about sun, cars, girls and beaches. Nostalgia and memories are a nice thing. But I also know that even in California people face challenges in making ends meet. I've shared $150 with Monica to use as she pleases for general expenses.
Recipient #3 is from Spain (or, Reino de España). Can you believe it? My first recipient from outside of North America. I've not purposely neglected our brothers and sisters around the world. But since this site is presented in the English language, I think it's a little less noticeable to folks searching in different languages. So most of my requests tend to come from the U.S. and Canada (and a few from other English speaking locales). But now that the international door has been opened, I hope to occasionally spread good will far from home. My new friend in Spain will remain nameless here. But she will receive $100 USD to supplement her income. She is currently unemployed and I hope this will help make ends meet.
Recipient #4 is Tyler from Ohio, USA. Tyler is young and a recent college grad. The $50 I'm sending can be spent on whatever he chooses. But Tyler tells me it will mostly be used for gas for his car.
I appreciate everyone's letters and will continue to accommodate when I can. In the meantime, do something good for someone today. You'll be glad you did. Keep those messages coming and I'll be back soon.

Four people chosen to receive $100 each - for groceries, gas, summer clothes and savings
I am mailing out four gifts to folks today. I'm trying to spread things around as best as I can, and decided that I'd like to give out four $100 gifts this morning instead of just one large one.
To Mike - $100 for your weekly grocery bill for your family. I've seen food prices and I agree with you that they're through the roof. You may not be able to support a family of four for $100 a week. But this will at least get you part way there.
Lisa - Four dollar a gallon gas stinks. But $100 will get you 25 gallons, which should help you get to and from where you're going for the next week or two. Maybe longer if you're frugal with trips.
Lana - I love your name! And yes, I'm happy to share a little bit with you to buy some summer clothes for the kids. I don't have any of my own. But I know they grow fast and keeping them in new clothing is a challenge. Wal-Mart and other large retailers offer some very affordable clothing and shoe options. Don't overlook the thrift store either. You can get nearly new jeans, pants, shorts and t-shirts for pennies there.
Tyron - I love your name too :-) Put this money to good use in your 401k / IRA.
Thanks, as always, to everyone who writes to me and reads this site and blog. I always try to promise more frequent updates and I know that I don't update you often enough. But rest assured I'm still here and will be back soon enough with more good news.
