My family and I did a thing for "less fortunate" families. We gave toys to a family that couldn't afford them for Christmas. My family donated 760 dollars to our local SPCA, and adopted two cats from there too. I taught a Kindergartener how to read and write. I helped... um... 437 (and counting) people on here, by answering their questions (roll over my avatar for the exact number). I bought an acre of the rainforest with the money me and my friend raised so that people can't chop that acre down. I am paying for the wellfare of a Grizzly Bear in a zoo.
Hope this helps!
