Kudos to Izzy for being more adult than most adults. I think the reasons we don't give to certain charities is as important as why we give to the ones we choose. For me, I have to believe in the cause and also feel certain that my donation is being used as intended.

This makes a lot of sense to me.

I think you stated this in another post - it is all about connections. What do you feel connected to? Is it giving blood makes you feel connected? Is it giving to American Cancer b/c you have family history of it? Are you giving to your kids' activities b/c it's your kids? Are you giving with your local United Way b/c that is supporting your hometown which you are connected to - all about what and who you are connected to....love that you highlight Izzy! She seems amazing!

We should all be more like Izzy. And her dad.

Well said, Kitty. Izzy's dad taught me how to box. After a couple punches to the face we decided to be friends.
