    Donating money or time to charity is a good way to help ourselves feel better by improving the quality of life for other people. One of my favorite charities is The Shriners Hospital for children. They are a charitable organization, and their 22 hospitals are completely free to patients. According to their website, their vision is to “Become the best at transforming children’s lives by providing exceptional healthcare through innovative research, in a patient and family centered environment.” They are dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in need through medical and financial backing (Shriners Hospitals for Children).…

    We live in a society where the poor are ridiculed and are not given the help they need. However, thanks to the many charities helping for no reward of their own, they get to live a better life.

    That being said, we should help raise money for the homeless people, so they could open more shelters. Not many homeless people survive these unbearable snow storms, and end up either dead or in a critical state. By helping them, we can not only save many lives, but we can also complete our mission as good Samaritans. How wonderful would you feel to have known you helped feed and shelter many people? You can help by fundraising money or by just asking adults around your neighborhood; inform them about the cause so they can help too! It’s the little steps that you do, that can help make many people’s lives better.…

    Seeing the homeless shelter and having that experience really made me appreciate what I have and it also made me want to makes someone else’s life easier and happier. For me, the Christmas season always seems happy and joyful. I love everything about it, the lights, the decorations, the trees, the cold weather, everything, so I want others around me to be happy too. It’s easy to get distracted during Christmas time though. Many people are buying presents for their children and partners, but forget about the families who aren’t spending hundreds of dollars on presents for their children, and not because they don’t want to, they just can’t. When I think about that, I feel bad because I can’t imagine how hard it would be to not be able to give your child the only thing they have asked for all year. That is why, ever since the second grade, I try to keep in mind that there are many ways to bring a smile to people’s faces, just by the little things that anyone can do. Donate a dollar to the Salvation Army. Donate toys to their schools toy drive. Volunteer and help out in their community. These are only some of the many ways to make someone’s life happier. I believe in Christmas, that it has the power to bring everyone together and remind…
