Help:
We’re sure by now you heard about Glenn James – the homeless man that turned in the $40,000 backpack.  With this in mind, a South Boston-based organization, Sharing Counts wants you to join them in their efforts to raise some money for this good samaritan.  According to Sharing Counts blog, they will be working through the Boston Police to make sure that all donations go to Mr. James directly. They also wish for you to “share his story by liking it on Facebook and tweeting it to your followers! Together, let’s start a grassroots effort and help Mr. James get back on his feet!”?
