Charitable organizations that could use your help and support!
I’ve always agreed with the old saying, “Be the change you wish to see in the world!” What better change can there be than to give a little assistance those who are less fortunate than we are?
In light of that, may I recommend:
St. Joseph’s Indian School – https://www.stjo.org
A boarding school for Native American children whose parents want them to be there. It isn’t like the ones in the old days where the kids were put into schools against their parents’ will. The photos and videos of their happy students on their website are amazing!
Kiva – https://www.kiva.org
You can give a small micro loan to individuals and groups requiring funds to kickstart their businesses. And get this. Once the loan is paid back, the money goes into your account so you can loan it AGAIN to someone else!
Operation Smile – https://www.operationsmile.org
My longtime favorite! Operation Smile provides free surgery to children with cleft palates and facial deformities. Not only do they correct the physical problems but they transform them into the beautiful children they were always meant to be in the first place. It prevents them from continuously being bullied before they have the surgery, too, which is extraordinarily important.
Heifer International – https://www.heifer.org
I like this one too! They provide livestock to farmers in Third World countries, anything from a flock of chicks to a goat to a heifer and more.
Mercy Ships – https://www.mercyships.org
Mercy Ships reminds me of the story about how if Mohammed couldn’t come to the mountain then the mountain came to Mohammed! Their ships sail to medically underserved countries and provide people with the surgery and care that they need.
By all means, check out these websites. For the price of a cup of coffee or two, or perhaps a little bit more, you could be part of the answer to someone’s prayer! And what could be better than that?
