As the federal government shutdown drags on, millions of Americans are set to lose access to food assistance benefits starting Nov. 1. Buffalo & Western NY will be hit HARD!
Epictetus, the Greek Stoic philosopher, is most famously associated with the idea that we cannot control external events—only our responses to them.
So, tonight, I am announcing the launch of a new project!
For every house I sell through the end of this year, I will donate 25% of my commission to food assistance programs in the name of my client at closing. You don't have to close by the end of the year, but be Under Contract or Pending.
The Buyer/Seller can pick the organization, whether it be FeedMore WNY, a Community-Based Organization, religious institution or non-profit of their choice.
This is not some marketing gimmick; it's my way of taking control back from the Orange Fuhrer and fthe evil of MAGA.
Please feel free to share this and if you're thinking of selling your home and/or buying a home AND helping our neighbors in need, please get in touch.
“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own…”
Epictetus, Discourses 2.5.4–5
