I always support local charities and causes. My next rule of "thumb" when it comes to donations is to contribute to whatever cause have affected my family, friends or myself. This has ended up being a lot. I do try to cover everything in a 12 month period because I am so grateful for the help that has been rended to people I know and are related to from various hospitals and organisations. I believe in giving back. All the groups my children were involved in are included also. Nothing exists without help these days and it is wonderful to think that so many people do care.

Charity work helps both the giver and receiver - with win win situations. It is not easy asking for help but sometimes you just have too. But when you can give whether it be money or time you feel good about yourself. I help out at a local school with reading, although my children are all older and no longer at school. I also knit and give to the Knit One Give One program. DOesn't cost too much but makes me feel needed and useful. Also donate to different charities and I try to give to deserving charities that help others in need.
