Every year we pick an organization to donate to throughout the year and especially for Christmas. This year we have donated funds through World Vision and we donated extra for ourselves, in lieu of gifts, to the families of Darfur, Sudan.
Also, in lieu of gifts this year, we donated in the names of our parents to the Maxium Impact Fund. Merry Christmas !!!!!;-)
We are blessed so much already as are our families and there are so many people in the world just struggling day to day, that it was an easy decision.
Normally we donate locally, but I have felt a tug to Darfur for sometime now. I hope that I have inspired you as well to give a little extra, or ALL in the spirit of Christmas to your favorite organization. Or if you would like more info, World Vision has programs that benefit people all over the world including the US. Just some of their means of donating are through a gift catalog, you can sponser a child monthly, contribute to basic needs, and emergency needs.
