I’m a proud sponsor of a 9 year old girl named Nayeli in Bolivia. I truly wish to be able to meet her some day before she “ages” out of the program. I also donate on occasion to Breast Cancer research (my great grandmother had breast cancer), Premature Baby foundations (I was a premature baby) and disaster relief or other causes as I feel I can. There are so many charitable organization that it’s really possible for anyone to find the one(s) that fits them best. However, in this day and age it’s considered “smart” to be cautious and even skeptical especially when donating to charities. Luckily, with technology has come information at our fingertips. There are many great ways to be able to tell where your money is going and one of the best is a non-profit group called CharityNavigator.org which allows you to see exactly what percentage of your donations go where, and they even compile a list each year of the CEO’s salaries.
So, I must admit it is very close to my heart to see a documentary like the one posted below come to the big screen. It re-affirms my belief that one small act of kindness really can make a huge difference in the world. I hope you all will take the time to watch the film as it is released in your areas. But more importantly, I sincerely hope you consider finding YOUR cause, one that speaks to you and donate to it and support it with all your heart. Because YOU can make a difference in the world. <3
