If I had a lot of money and could afford to give to different charitable organizations I would give to the Cancer Society, our local Humane Society, the local food bank, Make-a-Wish, and St.Jude Children's Research Hospital. I am curious what you folks would give to. Do you have other areas you would like to help?

I would donate to the Red Cross first. Animal rescues are a close second.
When I was 14, we had a house fire in winter and lost everything, our home, pets, clothes, food, etc. The Red Cross gave us vouchers to spend at Walmart for clothes, toiletries, voucher to Burlington for new coats and also hotel expenses so we could have somewhere to sleep.
When you are in such a traumatizing situation like that, just those gestures for a few things helped give us hope and heal. I will forever remain grateful. Red Cross provides many types of services and are also involved in helping our military families. I would give back to them if I could.

@celticeagle I’m very sorry to hear that it happened to both your parents, cancer is such an awful disease.
My grandmother was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and has surgery in about 3 weeks. We are mostly worried about her going under since major surgeries are a lot harder on the elderly.

@Kamuigan ........That is the cancer that got my mom. The surgeon couldn't get 3% of the cancer because it was too close to her spine. That 3% is what killed her.

@Kamuigan I'm sorry you had that fire. My family's cabin burnt to the ground when my daughter was just a toddler. A friend lent us his worn down house for a while. We didn't realize for a long time how depressed we all were and how leaving a back woods environment for a city slum really affected us all.

I would give to the James cancer research. And I can't think of the name but the one that treats kids with cancer. It might be St. Judes.

First of all, I would head back to Latvia. Then I would consider what organization I could donate to, Definitely those you mentioned and probably some others,

I would send money to the veterans of foreign war groups and donate money to my high school bowling team as well as no kill shelters for animals.

All good choices. If I had oodles of money, I'd probably chose them, too, and probably the Green Party. Then there's the women's Centre I go to... we need an elevator, lots of us use walkers and need help climbing the stairs up to the main room.
