Consider it done, Zoe... this is a very compelling way for anyone in the states to spend a relatively insignificant amount of money that will have a significant impact on another human... Thank you, and I will be giving some within the next 3 days. Ken Stewart´s last blog post..Job Hunting from the Trenches: 6 Hard Earned Lessons

Thank you so much Zoe for writing this thoughtful bog on our behalf. We are struggling financially right now along with everyone in the world and it is so inspiring and warming to see that people still care and are willing to help us out. Thank you to all of you who have generously made a donation, it is people like you who keep our doors open and keep those kids smiling and healthy.
Peace to you and yours,
Lisa and the Freedom House family xo

@ Nancy, Odile, and Ken – Thank you so much for taking the time to read and contribute! Lisa is very excited about this.

@ Marie – It really does make sense to carefully choose a couple charities to focus your efforts. Regular donations can make a big difference for the security of an organization. Thanks for your thoughtful response!

Hey, Zoe,
Thank you for devoting a post to such an important issue. It is amazing how a minor “sacrifice” from a lot of us can equal a major improvement for someone in poverty. After years of making donations willy-nilly, I finally committed myself to automatic monthly contributions to a few charities close to my heart (such as Doctors Without Borders and Mercy Corps). My contributions are barely a blip in my monthly reconciliation of my checking account, but I know it adds up for the charities I support, and, because it’s automatic, it gives the organizations something to count on. I encourage your readers to consider this way of giving as well.
Best,
Marie

While we contribute to many causes, we believe that anything ZOE associates with has merit and value. I, too will pass it along
