I am a huge fan and supporter of Big Brothers Big SIsters - I think having a mentor can really change a child's life!

And an adult's life, too. I've been matched with Tina for 5 years now and watched her grow and blossom - she has changed my life.

Bless you for donating! Enjoy!

So very close to my heart. Every cent goes straight to the children. I know two of the board members personally. One of the Mamas traveled with me to China to get Daisy and we get together a couple of times a year.

I don't have a link but I'd donate to some sort of support dog place, like Stacy's dog, hearing dog, seizure alert dog etc... . I think those organizations change lives daily.
