I don't currently donate to any organization, but I'm caring for my husband who is an insulin dependent diabetic, and I hope that there is a cure for diabetes in his lifetime.

I support the pregnancy resource center. They help women by giving them a free pregnancy test. They help women in job-finding and other necessary training in order to make a life for them and their baby. They give women clothing, baby items, blankets, baby toys, etc. And it's all FREE!

www.team25.com the Shjon Podein Childrens Foundation Shjon is a retired NHL player who was on the 2001 Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche. He was also a member of the "3M" line in Philly. His foundation is helping to find a cure for Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT). It is a rare, inherited disease that affects the nervous system, immune system and other body systems. Shjon's foundation is supported throughout the NHL and also by the likes of Brad Paisley and Matt Damon. Playing in the annual golf tournament is the highlight of my year - just seeing all the kids affected by A-T out there having a great time puts a lot of things in perspective. I urge you to visit the SPCF site... www.team25.com and learn more...

I support the Salvation Army. My daddy used to talk about how the Red Cross had doughnuts and hot coffee, way back , but not where it was really needed. USO was alright - where it was safe, but the men from the Salvation Army, while they didn't fight, did their part of the war in their own way. He told about how they would belly crawl to the foxholes and trenches to deliver hot coffee, cigarettes, etc. He had seen some give his own life trying to help a soldier. I have never heard of the Red Cross helping anyone.

The Institute for Justice is on the front lines in fighting the abuse of eminent domain (government taking property from people against their will), and for small business owners to be able to operate without excessive regulation and licensing burdens. They truly do stand up for the "little guy".

I regularly donate to the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). My husband is a military retiree and while he was stationed overseas, he was never overseas during a conflict. He wads very lucky. Some of the men and women who willingly sacrafice their time and energy to keep our country safe pay the ultimate price. But then there are those who have severe injuries to the head, neck, or back and end up paralyzed. This charity helps support these brave Soldiers, Marines, and Airmen by providing things like power wheelchairs, prosthetics, and financial support.

I worked for St. Jude's Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. I believe they give 75% for the children. That's pretty good when other well-known charities only get 10%. The louder their noise, the less money the people get, usually.

I support several charities; for animals, children. My biggest one that I personally work for is the March of Dimes. Every one of us was born a baby. You can't get around that. My own birth was very difficult and still has lasting effects. We need to ensure all babies are born full term and healthy and we need to remember that these children will be the leaders of our tomorrow. The MOD not only wants them brought into the world healthy but they support the NICUs, the nurses and doctors in the hospital with courses, research, Therapy units and children's hospitals and the Ronald McDonald homes nearby the hospitals for the families to stay at.

I donated my hair to Locks of Love for children who need wigs because of chemo treatments or other diseases. I have also donated time and money to the Front Range Center for Assault Prevention and the Child Assault Prevention (CAP) Project. It is a wonderful non-profit that educates adults and their children about bully assault, stranger abduction and sexual assault prevention. Their workshops teach preschool through high school children as well as caregivers and teachers/school staff!! I have also donated money to St. Jude's Children's Hospital because of the wonderful free services they give to children with life-threatening diseases and their families. We donate clothing, used items around our household that are still useful, food and money to local charities as well.

the salavation army because its so nice to be able to help out casue as bad as you think you might have it there some who have it so much worser and its a blessing from the creator to be able to give back. also the disable veterans association because my heart goes out to able to do anything helpful for the men who fight for our country. the american red cross because if you have ever been (and i hope that anyone never has to experience it) in a disaster the american red cross is always there to help out and they are truly appreciated. the brotherhood mission because sometimes people need a helping hand when they are trying to deal with problems in their life.

Tybee Island Lighthouse has had to be built 4 times and was built when Olgethrope came to GA.

Best Friends Animal Society, Kanab, Utah I have toured their 350 acre refuge for all types of animals. They are given beautiful habitats that fit they needs, there is a hospital on the property to give them excellent care and restoration. It is a no kill organization with a loving and caring staff plus volunteers to give these precious animals back their lives. The public can tour the grounds on a bus tour that is provided for a nominal fee. It is a spectacular place to visit and wonderful for the animals.

i support charities for animals because i love humanity but aniamls are helpless and arent able to ask for help or tell people they hurt or need someone to take care of them. there are so many animals who help humans like dogs for the blind or people with challenging disabilities and the police and fire dogs and animals that give to people who need comfort and unconditonal love, there are ones who help the farmers and animals who help with eggs and cheese and milk without having to be killed to help.they dont understand why humans try to hurt them or kill them. they are always there when everyone else desserts you ready to give you love no matter what you look like or how you talk or maybe not as smart as someone else always there if you are lonely and best of all they are wonderful listeners for anything at all you need to talk about and they dont hate you or dessert you because they dont like what you said or did, they accept everyone, why cant everyone accept them?
