Making A Mother Proud

For Christmas, my 8-year-old asked to help other kids around the world who don't feel as safe and secure with their families as she does with hers. So based on a friend's recommendation I made a donation in her name to Plan USA, a really wonderful non-religious charitable organization that helps children around the world. I couldn't afford to sponsor a child, but I did donate to the Childrens' Fund, a stop-gap measure until children are matched up with sponsors. I think I'm going to make it a regular gift.

She's a good kid. I'm proud of her. I hope you'll follow her compassionate example.
