Occasionally I am asked what I would like as a gift. I have pretty much everything I need, so if you want to do something for me, please consider supporting one of the following organizations:
The vast majority of the services Planned Parenthood provides is the prevention of pregnancy, preventing or curing sexually transmitted diseases and infections, and cancer screenings. Access to these services save lives and reduces the need for abortions. Planned Parenthood also provides one of the best options for an affordable vasectomy for uninsured men.
Kiva provides an excellent micro-loan service enabling you to help others by providing the resources that will enable them to improve their businesses or lives so they can support themselves. You can lend in amounts as small as $25, and you get regular updates on the benefits your loan provided as it is repaid. If you don’t want to participate in lending, you can simply donate to support Kiva’s operating expenses.
