Imagine this "what if" scenario:
A kind benefactor gives you $100,000 to donate in your name to the charity of your choice. The only stipulation is that the money must go to a charity, and you can only choose one charity.
What cause would you choose? What speaks to you most? The environment, health, poverty, the arts, animal welfare etc?
Tell us why this cause means so much to you...
I would donate money to buy extras for special needs foster children. Any donation would be for direct aid not for administrative costs.
I don't think children should suffer because of parents who in my view are criminals. I have seen up close and personal the damage drugs, sex abuse, etc can do to the lives of children. I'll give it to you straight. A crack baby, a young child sexually abused or one born with fetal alcohol syndrome will most likely end up in prison, intellectually challenged, emotionally disabled, if female pregnant with no means to support herself or the baby. The list goes on and on and on. Got any idea how many of these children experience being loved going from foster family to foster family? How about not many to make much of a difference. Society pretends they don't exist. I can't even begin to tell you how bad it is for these young human being no one wants. So, if I can give money so that they can go to school with backpacks or have other things so they can fit it with the other kids I will.
Definitely Cancer Research... Reason... Personal
SPCA, animals cant help themselves out of the world we created for them.
Having had several relatives and friends battle cancer, I would give it to various cancer research/treatment charities, such as Susan B. Komen for the Cure, LIVESTRONG: The Lance Armstrong Foundation, & The Jimmy Fund @ Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (a New England-based cancer charity).

Latest story:
I would donate it to a cause to fight childhood diseases and the organization would have to prove almost all of the money goes towards the kids.
(I donated a lot in my latest story, "Condiction", and that's my shameless plug.hGDAXnnv5j0wAqnv )
My favorite charity is the "Make a Wish" foundation.
it would be one of two for me. Breast Cancer or one for Libraries (I can't spell it today).
Cancer runs in my family, on both sides, and I love to read and spend time at my local library.
Being a cancer survivor, I'd probably go with the Canadian Cancer Society, or possibly the Terry Fox Foundation. I did an unsuccessful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society on the 20th anniversary of when I found out I had cancer. I think I raised $500 for the charity, but I spent $550 putting on the concert. So I should have just wrote a cheque for $550 and never done the concert. The charity would have been $50 better off. Not counting the coverage in the local paper, etc, that they got from it too.
Nother one I have given money to is St. Jude Childrens hospital
My charity of choice is Special Olympics, I had a little girl from there sort of change my life in college

Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. They fight to protect the 1st Amendment Rights of artists and writers.
To any orginazation that helps animals. I got My cat Usagi from the ASPCA after the loss of our cat Misty. She has helped me a lot and it is so hard to think of other animals abused or homeless when they have so much love to give. It's hard to walk past them in cages when they stick their paws out in pet shops and at shelters, because I just want to take each one out and play with it.
