There are so many organizations asking for donations. A person cannot give to all of them. What do you think is the best purpose to give to. I have decided already, I just want to see others thoughts on this.
well down here i have been giving to the blind charity for years now think its a worthy cause and it makes you feel good to know you are giving something to help unfortuate causes
When my son was born about 3 months premature, he was in intensive care for about 3 months at the Mayo clinic. I didn't know what to do! I was so far from home,(6 hours), and I didn't have money or a car,(I was air-ambulenced down there). I wanted to be there 24/7 to be with him though everything. Thanks to the local RMH I was able to stay close to the hospital.
A hotel room for a 3 month stay would have bankrupted me. RMH only asks $10/day donation. If you can't afford it, its ok. I made alot of friends there. Mostly other worried parents. They gave me a home when I needed one. They helped me get free taxi rides to the hospital, have a room/shower, laundry machines, and food. Many volunteers bring over supper & cookies & treats.
I still write to other parents I met at RMH, and do what I can to bring my local RMH supplies, like shampoo, toilet paper, laundry soap.
I must say this charity has a special place in my heart. I would also like to encourage others to drop off donations. Or atleast save pop-tops and drop them off at McDonald's!!!!
