JOTR favorite Susan Tompor has won the Detroit Free Press charity popularity contest.
I was curious about what had happened after I urged readers on July 23, 2010 to vote for Susan in the paper’s “Reader Envy” contest.
I sent her a note and received this e-mail from Susan:
“We did win!”
That means the Free Press will donate $500 to Susan’s favorite charity, Sheltering Arms.
And some lucky reader/voter will get to go shopping with Susan or maybe get her help figuring out their household finances.
Susan is the Free Press’s savvy personal finance columnist.
I think highly of the aim of Sheltering Arms in Southfield and Auburn Hills. It is to give quality time to people with Allzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases while relieving their loved ones temporarily of care-taking duties.
If we helped in any way, I’m glad.
