I've been thinking a lot lately about what a comment's worth. It seems most people out there are willing to leave one for just the chance of winning something, no matter how small.I'm not really the giveaway type (though this may change) but I do like the idea of inviting comments. So I thought I'd start a monthly Comments for a Cause. I invite you all to leave a comment here on behalf of Homeboy Industries.
I heard about Homeboy Industries for the first time a few weeks back when the founder, Father Greg Boyle, was being interviewed on NPR. Then I was reminded again when I read the compelling Save Homeboy Industries, by Yvonne Condes on the Los Angeles Moms Blog.
For every comment made on this post by next Sunday, June 20, I'll donate $1 to Homeboy Industries. You can also donate directly to Homeboy Industries or purchase Father Boyle's book, Tattoos on the Heart, all proceeds go to Homeboy Industries.
Thank you everyone for your comments, I hope to get some more before Sunday!

What an excellent idea. I will post this on my webpage. Homeboy...we are supporting you.
I attended a poetry reading at Homeboy Industries recently and bought Father Greg's new book Tatoos on the Heart. At moments I laughed until my side hurt and at others I cried until my heart hurt. I loved the book. Thank you for supporting this ministry. The mission of Homeboy Industries is a noble one.
Saw this on the Homeboy Facebook page, great idea!
