'I wish'... I had never-ending funds to donate to a charity and it would be Compassion International, the Multiple Sclerosis Society and March of Dimes.
"Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.
Founded by the Rev. Everett Swanson in 1952, Compassion began providing Korean War orphans with food, shelter, education and health care, as well as Christian training.
Today, Compassion helps more than 1 million children in 25 countries.
A passion for children.
Interested in our guiding principles and why we are so passionate about caring for children?"

I love Compassion International and the committment they have made to helping children and breaking the cycle of poverty. I wish I had money to be able to sponsor more children. I currently sponsor one little boy in Africa. I love getting letters from him and hearing all about his life, family and how Compassion is helping him and his family. Compassion makes it so easy to communicate with your child. You can send letters via there website or through the mail.

My mom was diagnosed with MS in the Summer of 2000, so the Multiple Sclerosis Society is definitely a charity I would love to donate unlimited funds to to help find a cure.

And last, but certainly not least, I would donate to the March of Dimes. My friend Adam and his wife welcomed their twins 11 weeks early and research funded by the March of Dimes saved their babies.The Caldwells will be walking in the March for Babies on May 1 and are hoping to raise $2500, so if you would like to learn more about them or help them reach their goal, please click HERE.

LOVE Compassion International. I still get a huge smile on my face when I see an envelope from them, receiving letters is such an amazing feeling!
