I've found out recently that I've been referring to Mission of Mercy incorrectly.

Actually, the correct title of the organization I'm so grateful for is

A Mission Of Mercy

.
There is a Mission of Mercy it's not "our" Mission of Mercy.

What's going on is that here, in Frederick Maryland, where A Mission of Mercy's headquarters is located, we refer to it without the *A* because ours is here and the other one is somewhere else:)

The *other* Mission of Mercy seems to be a great cause, when Googled one can see that the purpose of the *other* one is to help needy children in other countries.

What does *our* A Mission of Mercy do?

We (I say we because I think of myself as being *on the team*, when I'm an enthusiastic outside supporter with online promotion skills to donate), We at A Mission of Mercy provide free health care and dental care to the under-insured and uninsured of Frederick Maryland.

Ok, so that's still not an accurate definition... A Mission of Mercy provides a

Mobile Medical Care Clinic

in 4 states: Maryland (where I hail from), Pennsylvania, Texas, and Arizona.

The extremely popular online social gathering website "Facebook", which is similar to the hugely successful "MySpace" website, has a section devoted to raising money for registered 501c3 non profit charities.

I've included the Mission of Mercy facebook 'cause' link here on this blog, and on all the articles I've written on Frederick.com and on a new Frederick Maryland Charities blog I've started: http://frederickgives.org

The facebook link will prove to be an easy way to publicize A Mission of Mercy

Find Mission of Mercy on FaceBook.com

FaceBook.com, the social networking website (web 2.0 for those of you that appreciate buzz words)has a place for donations to various legitimate (read that 501c3) non profit/ charities to donate to the 'cause' of your choice easily.

FaceBook actually calls this section of their website: Causes

Now if a 'Cause' is a federally listed, official 501c3 charity, one can send money via a web link and ALL the money will go to the charity of your choice.

I set up a Mission of Mercy Cause section on FaceBook:

I've been beating the bushes to find the Mission of Mercy Maryland director, Linda Ryan, a Volunteer Dentist!

Now when I post to all the forums on volunteerism in the US, and non profit charitable websites I can find... while I'm at it, I can leave the link to
