Your local animal shelter would likely benefit from it a lot

I was going to add "animal shelter" but just upvoted those that came before me.

Done! Sent $500 to Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute. I hope you don't mind that I said I was a "Friend of Patient." Best of luck with your procedure. PLEASE let me know when you're recovered.

every charity possible! even if all of them only got $10 each, it would still make a difference

1) Charities that support LGBTQIAP+ youths (such as the Trevor Project or GLSEN)

2) Charities that support people who've experienced domestic violence (preferably those that support both men and women, since both genders can experience domestic violence)

3) Charities providing kids with an opportunity to take music lessons (since those can be expensive and there's a lot of kids who have a lot of talent out there)

Take your pick! (I'd donate myself if I wasn't so broke :/ )

Wolfstar, have you ever considered donating time instead of money? I am sure that there is a need of an extra hand (to do stuff you don't need to be qualified for) in all of the charities mentioned above. I understand that there is a pandemic and current lockdown on now but charities will still be in need of help after covid. And thank you so much for acknowledging that both genders are abused, not just women.

No offense but are you talking about starving children or “starving” children cause I can’t tell. But if the are really starving I’m so sorry

Wounded Warriors. I'm not one to endorse war but if it wasn't for the men and women who do fight our wars, we wouldn't have the life we have now. They do keep us safe and it's a disgrace how we treat our veterans.

I already support Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing through volunteering and donations so I'd like to put it towards another area that needs help. Thank you for thinking of us though!

I agree with local animal shelter. You could even support my doggo going through chemo if you wanted to: https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-miracle-for-marzipan

True acts of kindness are so rare these days, but so important.

Why are you asking random strangers on the internet? Google it yourself, find the good charities yourself.
