if you had..

I am fortunate enough that my family and myself do not need to go out and work a 9-5 job and have a little extra income to help the poor. We pick a charity (one) and give regularly. With that being said... if everyone gave just a little the world would be a totally different place. If every American gave just $1/week (300 million people) that is $15,600,000 (15 and a half BILLION dollars). I would love to take a weekend and work for Habitat for Humanity building houses (God help the person that lives in a house I build hehe) to feel the warmth and goodness of giving back... not to self... make that a New Year's resolution. I would rather have good people over a corrupt government anyday!

If I have money, I would like to share it with the orphans, widows, senior citizens, disabled, and whoever is wanting or in dire need of help. God loves this kinds of people and I would like to be an instrument to do the will of God.

If I had the money, I would like to help organizations like the "Make A Wish" foundation, or the Jeff Gordon Foundation, the Pediatric Aids Foundation, and stuff like that. I would also like to find a way to help all of the senior citizens find a way to pay for their medications that so many can't afford. As for time, I would love to be able to help children with disabilities or special needs experience horses. There are very few places that offer that. I think it is a great cause. I have assisted at the Special Rodeos when I am competing at rodeos where they have these and the true enjoyment both me and my kids got from showing these kids rodeo, horses, and roping is a great thing. The way their eyes light up when you put them on a horse, it's incredible. I'd love to be able to do that here at my small ranch, but the funding just isn't out there, and I can barely afford to support my family right now.
