Tell me about your favorite charity.

We are doing some financial planning and I need to get four charities which we will focus on. One for me, one for DH (though I know that will be Habitat), and one for each of the kids. So, I have a few in mind, but I want to hear your favorites.

St. Jude's Cancer Research Center
Every year we renew our Partner in Hope membership and thank God that we have healthy children.
I'm going to the Mall of America tomorrow to volunteer with the local radio station radiothon for St. Jude.

My dd2 is doing a mathathon through her school to raise money for St. Jude's. I'm so proud. She's already raised $90!

I like Marion Medical Mission. They're based in Marion IL and help villagers in Malawi Africa build wells for safe drinking water. They also establish schools and provide help where they can.
