I am donating $5 to a worthy cause every week for this whole year. And I am dedicating this blog to charting my chosen charities. I hope you will follow it and maybe even join me in giving as well.

WEEKS TWENTY-FIVE & TWENTY-SIX - 21st & 28th June
Last Friday was Red Nose Day.
I'm doing another double up donation today, because I thought my last double up covered last week, but I was a week behind. (I'm blaming aging for my memory loss!)
SIDS and Kids is dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood and to supporting bereaved families.
With nine offices throughout Australia and a National office in Melbourne, SIDS and Kids areas of focus include bereavement support, education, research, national awareness campaigning, advocacy and fundraising.
Anyway, I'm more than happy to give a double donation of $10 to Red Nose Day as they are a most deserving charity.
I hope you will join me and my boy by clicking here to donate, too.
See you next week.
(I hope I don't forget!)

WEEK NINETEEN - 10th May
This week my $5 and Isaac's 90c (he is choosing each week how much he wants to give from his pocket money) is going to sponsoring Planet You for Hush for Homelessness.
You can read all about it here on Cate Bolt's blog.
Almost 105,000 Australians have no place to call home. Of these people, around 50% are yet to have their 25th birthday and 10,000 are children aged under 12!
You can donate, too, by clicking here or on the widget on Cate's blog.
Please do.
See you next week.

WEEK EIGHTEEN - 3rd May
This week is very special for me because my 5 year old boy has decided he wants to join with me in donating each week. He wants to give $1 to add to my $5 so we will be donating $6 this week.
One of my blogging buddies is raising money for a wonderful cause so our donation is going to support Lucy this week.
Lucy is aiming to lose 20kgs and complete the McLaren Vale 20km half marathon on October 10th 2010 and hopes to raise at least $500 for the Starlight Foundation who brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, and their families, throughout Australia.
If you would like to help Lucy get to her goal, you can donate too by clicking here.
I wish it was more, Lucy.
One donation of $5 isn't much.
But many donations of $5 can make a difference.
See you next week.

WEEK SIXTEEN - 19th April
Last week I chose to give to Arthritis Australia and as they had a minimum donation amount of $10 and I have only budgeted for $5 per week, I am not donating today.
Or I am...the second $5 to Arthritis Australia!!
See you next week.
