I love love LOVE dogs. If you do too, then Karma Rescue<\/a> is the place for you! Not a dog person? That\u2019s okay, too! Karma Rescue has recently started sheltering adoptable kitty cats. This non-profit organization devotes itself to finding forever homes for animals in need. They also provide support for successful integration from shelter to home life for both the pet and the family. You can support Karma Rescue<\/a> by donating money, food, supplies or by giving your time. Even better, if you are able, you can adopt a new fur-ever friend!<\/p>\n

The Child Life Program at Miller Children\u2019s Hospital<\/a> is a not-for-profit program. Child Life helps children who are being treated at the hospital feel normal. They try to help children feel more comfortable about their new settings by explaining to them what different things do, and how the doctors are treating them in ways that are easy for a child to understand. Donating to this organization<\/a> means that the Child Life program can give out toys, craft supplies and other support items to children during their hospital stay.<\/p>\n

Donating to Claire\u2019s Place Foundation<\/h2>\n

\"claire<\/a>What better way to end this than to support my most favorite charity, Claire\u2019s Place Foundation<\/a>! Claire\u2019s Place is a non-profit organization that provides support to children and families affected by cystic fibrosis (CF). Donating to this charity <\/a>means that you can provide both emotional and financial support to those currently living with CF. Claire, the namesake of the foundation, lives with CF, and gives motivational speaking events to spread the word about CF and build support for the fight against it.<\/p>\n
