These organizations don't work to save the Earth, but they've helped people I know and love so I wanted to let you know about them.
The March of Dimes
My little brothers were born almost three months early. The March of Dimes helps find ways to help premature babies like my brothers, and my parents say my brothers are okay because of the March of Dimes.
The Little Angel Fund
The Little Angel Fund at Stony Brook University Hospital was started by a family whose premature baby died. In her memory they help other families at the hospital who have premature babies. My brothers were there for almost two months, so they helped our family a lot.
Save the Children
When the tsunami hit in Asia, when Myanmar had a typhoon, when China and Haiti had earthquakes, and when Hurricane Ike hit the Gulf Coast many children lost everything they ever knew. So I used my Lemon Aid stand to raise money for Save the Children's special disaster funds to help children going through these disasters.
The American Cancer Society
Many people in my life have cancer. My grandma, three Aunts, and my friend's mom. They're all doing well, but not everyone is so lucky. My Dad and I raise money for the American Cancer Society by riding our bicycles, so maybe one day there won't be any more cancer.
Connor's Army and Connor's Army Junior
My Dad and I started these organizations to raise money to fight cancer. The first year we raised almost $13,000 dollars. Now we're making plans for a cross country ride to raise $50,000!
I hope you learn more about these charities by going to their web-sites and maybe making a donation.
