Tilly Greene, author of scorching romances

Maybe it is part of your religious choices to give, family upbringing or possibly you have a loved one who suffers and want to offer support to others in the same condition. There are many reasons why we give, be it money, goods, services or time - it does not matter why but it does matter that it actually goes to where it's needed most.

Before writing that check, packing that box of goods or donating your time, I suggest you ask questions of the organization, be clear on their goals. You can also go to GIVE.org , or a similar site, and look into the organization you wish to support.

Now on a different note.

I am a part of a work force who has many members unable to afford health insurance, and in the US, that means extremely high costs if something goes wrong. A new organization has risen to address this very problem, starting with one author in desperate need of medical equipment to live. Please go to Save the Quiet Kitty and ask questions, help if you can. If you can't that is fine to, knowledge of a problem is part of the battle when we go to the voting booth.
