Do you give to charity? Which charities are close to your heart?
Do you donate any of your time to helping others? Where?
Thank you.

An amusing story.....
When the red cross knocked on our door to ask for money, we gave them some small change in the value of about 20 dollars.
Then about a minute later I noticed a few 10's and a 50 in our front yard. First offI thought WOW THIS ROCKS but then realised that the red cross people had probably dropped it.
I saw them at the end of the street and I ran after them. They must have thought I would rob them so they started running away.
I chased them for about 500 metres before they stopped and were getting ready to fight me, so I tried as quickly as I could to explain what had happened. They realised I was legit and so I gave them the money which they thanked me for and walked off with.
It was a very fun/interesting/weird predicament!
And true story no BullShi*

All the time!!
I donate to Children's Hospital; One through my church; and I am going to probably start donating to St. Jude. I just have to check out a few things about them first.
I want to start volunteering again, but I can't find a place around here that seems legit and focuses on the concerns/areas that I want to help with.

I always donate to Goodwill, as well as shop there! I participate in Relay for Life and Walk America. Whenever I see someone outside the store ringing a bell, I give whatever cash I happen to have - actually I have my kids do it so they can participate in giving, too! Whenever kids come door to door selling, I try to buy at least one or two items. We also participate yearly in the Operation Christmas Child. . .

a buck or two here and there, when I can, I don't exactly have much to give at this point in my life.
Make a wish foundation!
I wish I had the time to volunteer. I would like one day to be in a position that I do not need to work and can do volunteer work.

Sure do...
My husband and I both give to our schools foundations to help fund scholarships.
We also donate to Heifer Project International. It helps impoverished families worldwide become more self-reliant through the gift of livestock and training in their care.
