11. Charities

If I were given $30,000 dollars to give to 3 charities, these are the charities that I would pick.

Make A Wish Foundation

The make a wish foundation is an organization dedicated to granting the "wishes" of children with life threatening medical problems. I've always thought the make a wish foundation was a good charity, not because of the wish, but of the repercussions of the wish being granted. When a child is granted a wish, they are given a thing to remember, in what may or may not be their last days. If it even gets to that point, it is still a chance for that child to experience something they would normally not get the chance to, and that is not fair. But when people see how happy the children are when they see a charity really going to work in their own neighborhood, just the sound of it just makes you want to contribute to a worthy cause. Doesn't it?

Against Malaria Foundation

The against malaria foundation is a charity organization that deals with the purchasing of nets and antibiotics to treat and prevent malaria in less fortunate countries. Malaria causes symptoms such as, fever and headache, and in sever cases progressing into coma or even death. Malaria is hard to prevent, if one does not have the appropriate tools to deal with it. Mosquito's are more common in humid areas of the globe like rainforests, and can catch people by surprise as well all know. Yet 200,000,000 cases of malaria happen worldwide each year, and this charity is a great charity with a good track record dedicated to the purchase of nets, insecticide treated nets, and long lasting insecticide treated nets to prevent malaria in less fortunate countries, with the cost of nets being fairly cheap.

The British Columbia Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

More commonly known as the BC SPCA, these people can be lifesavers to animals everywhere and are one of the leading contributers to the rescue of abused animals. On one side, the people at SPCA rescue animals from their prosecuters and put them into shelters where they are treated well and then sold for fairly low prices to families who will adopt, love and care for them. As much as we need to repair people, we need to care for animals, and remember that we are not the only species on this planet, and nobody should treat animals as if we are.





When I was going over the structure of this I wanted to divide the charity money evenly between different causes, so the money is used in different ways. We need to remember that some less fortunate people are right next to us, so I chose the "Make A Wish" foundation, because when we have all the necessities of life in front of us, we need something to keep us moving forward. Although when we are even less fortunate and when we have to struggle to get the essentials of life, it takes 1 disease for you to be put out of work. Why I chose the "Against Malaria Foundation" to help those 200,000,000 people move forward and not have to worry about 1 more thing. And finally, animals are important as much as we are and I think are attitude as a species towards animals needs to take a change for the better, so I would donate this to the good people who saved my friends dog and my cat.
