A friend Julia was talking about giving to charities on her
blog today. I give to local charities first and foremost because I feel America
and its citizens are in dire straits. Our country needs the money. There are
too many children who only eat at school or go without clothing because their
parents are without employment.
Don’t get me wrong I feel sorry for those in other countries
who are suffering, but I feel we must take care of our own country first to be
able to care for others in the future.
Julia also shared two great charities that could use a hand.
Another place I like to donate to is Women and Infants
Hospital. My husband and I have raised money and donated it toward new equipment
that will make the nurses and doctors jobs easier. These men and women take
care of our littlest ones. The babies who sometimes don’t have a fighting
chance. They give them a chance. They pour their heart and soul into work and
deserve to have the tools needed to do the job.
We also threw a party for the staff to show them our appreciation
for all they did for us while our son was there. He was only alive for six days
but they fought just as hard as him. We love them and will always be grateful
for their profession.
No matter what your passion, remember everyone could use a little
extra this year.
