The Importance of Giving Back

As my birthday got closer i decided too do something a little different this year i felt like i needed to do something for orphans in ukraine, at first i though this was impossible but with my birthday money, christmas money and some donations i went to the store and bought blankets and socks. a few weeks later we sent it off to Ukraine. Isn't it weird how we take so many things for granted and don't even really notice? There are Children,Teens That dont get get enough food if any, that dont have clothes that dont have anything to they're names but the main two things are they dont have a family or a place to call home and that in itself Is unacceptable to me its not okay by any means. Everyone and i mean everyone deserves a family and a place to call home. I hear stories of this stuff some times but it really will get you when you put a name or a face to it. Its real It's very real and something needs to be done about it to some those stories are just that,stories but to me and anyone else that knows someone without a family or someone who used to not have a family, those stories their peoples lives a individuals life and their lives matter just as much as everybody else's do. this really happens in America In Ukraine,China<mexico<africa everywhere.="" so="" next="" time="" you="" put="" your="" shoes="" on="" or="" wear="" that="" new="" dress="" got="" those="" headphones="" think="" of="" someone="" thats="" not="" as="" fortunate="" are="" and=""  say="" a="" prayer="" for="" them="" give="" to="" organazation="" care="" about,lets="" help="" eachother="" out="" remind="" dont="" have="" families="" thatthey're=""  lives="" matter="" to.

once i sent the socks and blankets to ukraine it clicked just how much i have to be greatful for a family a bed,food,shoes,clothes.Sending that stuff was the best thing i couldve done, its made me so happy that those socks and blankets my brighten someones christmas up and warm them up too haha

I hope that you've realized just how greatful we should all be and that giving to others can be a good thing we need to help eachother  out.
