    Donating money or time to charity is a good way to help ourselves feel better by improving the quality of life for other people.

According to their website, their vision is to “Become the best at transforming children’s lives by providing exceptional healthcare through innovative research, in a patient and family centered environment.” They are dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in need through medical and financial backing (Shriners Hospitals for Children).…

    being one of them, so if you are in no situation to give money, there are ample ways to show that you care with no cost to you. Donation is a huge part of aid organizations, admittedly a lot of times donation means giving money, but there are many different meanings. There are organizations such as Free Rice, partnered with World Food Programme, that give education and rice to impoverished communities worldwide at the expense that you take a few minutes out of your day to play a couple games at freerice.com. This is an educational website that I was introduced to in elementary school. We were allowed to play games on this site after we had finished our work in computer labs. Back then it was about seeing who could get the most rice, ten grains for every correct answer, none of us realized how much of an impact we were making. If each child of a second grade class can give a couple thousand grains of rice in just the five minutes of extra time they have after assignments, think of the difference one school can make if they set five minutes of each day for that purpose only. This would have saved Mariam and Laila a lot of suffering when they had to sell everything they owned after a fire destroyed their only income (Hosseini 304). It would also immensely aid the HEAL Africa Hospital by taking food off their ceaseless list of burdens, because the people they help are usually in no situation to pay for care, not until…

    Donating, giving, and sharing are three related values that the majority of households in America all claim to practice and believe in. If this is true, then why is it so often that charities are underfunded? The problem is that many people seek happiness for themselves over the happiness of others. I believe that this is natural in human beings. When we are already so busy taking care of ourselves, I think we forget that other people could use a hand as well. Another underlying factor may be that many of us are not raised around charity. Instead of volunteering at shelters, America’s youth is often found at sports practices or at home fidgeting with technology, and until recently, I was no different.…

    Charity is a neat way to help out people in need. Society presents opportunities every now and then when the time or donation would be highly appreciated. Charities all over the world are finding it more and more difficult to run their organizations. Although charities are tax-exempt, they still have expenses such as operating and administrative costs that are not easy to cover, while still being able to “be charitable”, and support their cause. So, many NGOs are obligated to motivate people to give their support by offering motivation. Another factor is that there are so many different charities fighting for the donor’s dollar. There are charities for everything from alley cats to children in Zimbabwe. So with all the choices, donors might choose to give where they receive something back.…
