Charities HJ Supports
In case you missed the post I made about getting in touch with my giving side, here’s a list of the charities I hope to one day donate to with ad revenue generated from my blog:
- 10% of all money earned from Amazon sales (be it from purchases made in the Emporium or click-throughs from the feeds now appearing at the bottom of my posts) will be donated to the Lymphoma Research Foundation. (Without the research, I wouldn’t have benefited from the treatments that make it possible for me to be here today!)
- 10% of all money earned from Project Wonderful will be donated to the LUNGevity Foundation. In addition to my mom, I’ve watched three other friends’ loved ones battle lung cancer this past year. Like my mom, not all were smokers. Lung cancer kills more people than any other cancer, in part because it’s the least funded, which means less research and lack of treatments. Hopefully that’ll change one day!
- 10% of all money earned from AdSense will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association. My grandma suffered from it, my mom had it, my husband’s grandpa was recently diagnosed with it, and we’re watching a dear neighbor struggle with it as his wife deteriorates a little more each day because of it. The dementia made dealing with my mom and her cancer 1,000 times worse. My mom’s cancer would have been much easier to handle had she been in her right mind. This is a horrible disease which destroys more than the person stricken with it. It destroys their loved ones too.
