Larry King and Shawn King Cardiac Foundation
Larry King suffered a cardiac arrest before he married his wife, 15 or 20 years ago. His dad died of a cardiac arrest when he was nine.
I was moved to see that he and his wife Shawn have paid for many people to have cardiac surgery.
King wanted people to know about the Foundation. They have a matching grant with the Quaker Oats Foundation.
What do you think of their work?

November 12

David Ramsey worked really hard. He amassed a great deal of money; becoming a millionaire after some time. He had grown up with out all of the extra things he thought he could afford so he plunged himself and his family into huge debt.
One bright morning he woke up and he tore up all of his credit cards. He signed on with a debt consolidation company, and even though it was no picnic he worked himself out of the debt and now he is doing okay again!
Now Ramsey hosts a national radio show and he has a video about how to get rid of your debt and start saving for yourself and your family.
Now people can start a group in their community rec center or their temple or church and help people get out of debt too with Ramsey's dvd.
Would you do this?
Do you think that more Americans save?
Do you save? have you taught your kids?
Let us know!
