Your favourite charities

Your favourite charities Well the holidays are fast approaching and I always find myself thinking about how truly blessed and lucky I am to have such a full and rewarding life. I also give more thought to those that are less fortunate than I am, and what I can do personally to help. Every year I like to donate what I can to the charities that I feel serve the greatest benefit and those that help the ones with the least power to help themselves. I have donated to various different organizations in the past. Some I feel serve a more noble cause than others and some I won't donate to anymore because I feel that people take advantage of our generosity and take things that they don't need. I quit donating to food banks because I feel that there are too many people that go there and get food because they spent all their money on booze, drugs, and smokes. That kind of behaviour is unacceptable to me and it hurts those that genuinely need the help! So I thought about it and i decided I want to help those that are the weakest and have the least control over their situations. Here are my personal favourites! And my reasoning behind why I have chose them in particular!  1 - the Stollery 's Hospital It breaks my heart to see sick and know all of the pain and suffering they must endure! Childhood is supposed to be fun and innocent. I want to do what I can to help these enjoy Christmas and beat their sickness. Their optimism in the face of such adversity inspires me greatly and gives me a wonderful feeling knowing that I have tried to help in my small way. 2 - The Alberta SPCA. this one is very important to me! These abused animals are truly powerless and have no voice of their own. They suffer in silence and endure horrors and misery that are hard to even imagine! I love animals, and they bring me great joy and inspiration. My was a rescue and even during the worst of times he can always bring a smile to my face. I will do all that I can to help bring an end to their suffering! 3 - Stars Air Ambulance. Their work speaks for itself! When life is clinging to a thread these guys make the difference. Many good people wouldn't be here today with out this amazing, and in my mind truly essential service. 4 - The Local Woman's Shelter. Often when these women flee the violence that they are experiencing they come to the shelter with nothing more than the cloths they are wearing. And they have no support system! I have a friend that I met who is very successful and supports a family of five girls by herself. She left with next to nothing and if it wasn't for the support of the shelter and it's services she would not have been able to make the changes in her life that led to her current success! She opened my eyes to how vital these shelters are and how much good positive support they provide. Well those are the ones that we are donating too this year. I would love to help everybody that is truly in need but I know that I can only manage so much. I hope you guys feel as lucky in life as I do and I hope that you choose give a helping hand to those that are down and could use some help. The amount you donate may not be alot but it could mean everything to someone that has nothing left to lose! I would love to hear what your favourite charities are and how you choose to help others that are less fortunate! MERRY CHRISTMAS
