Today's show is about gift-giving options that can transform lives. Many of them are tax-deductible. When your friends or family members already are blessed with all that they need, you may want to consider one of these options. We were inspired by Jon's daughter, Brigid Ashwood, who told us a couple of years ago before Christmas that she and her husband Ed did not want material things for the holidays but did encourage charitable giving in her honor. We've been moved to do this ever since.
