Children are our future, so when choose who to help you must take into consideration that they are the ones who will one day be running our countries. There is an increasing number of children are suffering from childhood cancer. Without even getting a chance to see the world they might have it taken from them. If you would like to better the future of the world, you must start with bettering the ones that are going to inherent it.

Angels of Hope

Ashley Foundation

Association for the Support of Children with Cancer (ASK)

Band of Parents Foundation

Cancer Fund of America

National Children’s Cancer Society

Starlight Starbright

St Judes Children Research Hospital

The list goes on and on for the people helping children in need, but a cure still hasn’t been found so it’s important to keep searching to find a cure that will give every child the chance to have a full and happy life. All of these organizations are serving the same purpose, to help children in need.

A great organization to help is St Jude Children’s Hospital. St Jude is special because no child is ever turned away because they don’t have money to pay for treatments. You can help these children by volunteering your time. Another way to help is putting together or participating in a fundraising event, such as a 5k. If you have a great fundraising idea that you think would do great nation wide, share it with St Jude and put your great ideas into action.

If you don’t have any time to spend volunteering you can donate money. The money donated to St Jude is put to good use, it’s used so that no child is ever turned away from treatments. Funds are also used for clothing, travel, and food for patients and their families. And lastly the donated funds are used for ground breaking studies to finding a cure to cancer.
