ReplyDeleteMy charity... I am really into Intermón (http://www.intermonoxfam.org) and I also really like Emaús (http://www.emaus.es/), because they do really important things locally. I also collaborate with Vicente Ferrer's Foundation (http://www.fundacionvicenteferrer.org) and with MSF (http://www.msf.es) and Intervida (http://www.intervida.org/).
ReplyDeleteThere are so many people doing great things out there!
Thanks a lot,

I love vintage patterns! I sort through them at yard sales and thrift shops :) My favorite charity is Operation Christmas Child. They send shoe boxes full of Christmas gifts to countries worldwide. Each of our children gets to pick out gifts to fill a box. Thank you for the giveaway. alusco(at)centurytel(dot)net
ReplyDeleteThe first charity that came to mind was compassion international. They help children around the globe.
ReplyDeleteThanks

ReplyDeleteMy favourite charity is the Janeway Children`s Hospital Foundation. My son was in the Janeway for quite some time after he was born and again when he was four months old. The doctors and nurses there made him better so that he could live a long, happy, healthy life.

I have a lot of family in the military; Thank YOU for serving!
how fun! I think my mom wore one of those!!
ReplyDeleteI always donate to Focus on the Family when I can. I love listening to Dr. Dobson and feel that the Lord has used his radio program & books to help me become a better wife & mother. I also sponsored a child through World Vision and like to give donations to World Vision as gifts for those hard to shop for folks. I think if you google either, they will be easy to find. I'm having trouble attaching a link.
Sombody Cares. They help people all over the world. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

I have a few favorite charities.
ReplyDeleteA local one is Transitional Youth. They provide food and shelter for homeless teens. They work on helping them get clean and find jobs. Hoping to transition them out of the Transitional Youth homes and into their own apartments.
A great holiday one is Operation Christmas Child. http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/
We do this one with our kids. My daughter takes money from her piggy bank (she's 5) and picks out what she wasn't to put into the shoe boxes. I love being able to help her understand that not everyone can afford gifts or even toothbrushes. It makes it more tangible when she is the one purchasing the gifts.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I really like Habitat for Humanity. They have a resale store here where I can donate things and then I can also shop for items I need. It helps people have homes who would not be able to afford to buy a home.
ReplyDeleteThe Canadian Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.ca) is important to me as I'm a diabetic, as are many of my close friends. Thanks for your giveaway!

We mostly donate through our church, which does a lot of humanitarian aid, as well as an education fund.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Lighthouse Shelter, which is a local women's /children's shelter.
ReplyDeleteI have been supporting a charity for quite a while now. Its www.bhookh.org which aims at providing food to the poverty-stricken and malnourished children in India. They have a very informative and comprehensive website and they are truly dedicated to their cause.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I really supposrt any charity that provides help for sick kids. I work in healthcare and I hope to one day work at the St. Jude's Hospital. So I support sick kids. They go through enough. And deserve to be taken care of. Given the best care possible. Regardless if their family can afford it or not. :)

My favorite local charity is called The Food Pantry. It helps families in crisis with a weeks supply of food. The reason they are special to me is because they were there for me when I needed them. Thanks for the giveaway!! Merry CHRISTmas:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! The charities of my choice is Red Scarf Project and the Big Fluffy Dogs Rescue.
