Giving Something Back

Putting Disabled People to Work

By

The sight of a disabled child or person who pushes himself to earn a living despite having deficiencies in some parts of their bodies or from their manner of thinking is something that should inspire the normal man. Putting aside their current situation and status to give them a reason to live is the most important factor that touches the hearts of people who see them.

Disabled People Who Want To Live Normally

There are a lot of foundations that have taken this cue and even gone to the extent of helping them earn their keep and efforts through referrals and sponsorships. Working for a cause is the best term to generalize everything that these disabled people invest. Rarely would you see people putting time for such people who make the best out of what they can.

People who have some deficiencies cannot live normally but in most cases, it is the disabled people who seem to show more promise because they know that in their hearts that there is so much to accomplish if they are given a chance to be side by side with the normal and fortunate people of today.

The Value of Battered Women

By

It is a known fact that in the minds of many people, the easily most abused person in the household or in marriages would usually be the wife. Either they are beaten up or physically and mentally abused is the typical feedback that people around would hear. Foundations and movements have been done to help fight off the said abuse for these valued women and support in any way is something that they will surely need.

Abused Women in the World

Their fate would usually depend on their nature of selecting their partners. There are some who would unfortunately land masked men who would show their true colors upon marriage. While marriage is something that would top off all successful relationships, it is also a transition stage where couples would have to adjust their lifestyle and manner of living.

Pressure is something that would usually ignite quarrels and physical harm in most cases which in turn would lead towards ending up in court battles to seek protective custody in most cases for the abused. Such a resort would be normal considering they want to avoid any further encounters which could lead to worst situations.

Living the Life of a Beggar

By

Beggars are often misunderstood as people who have given up on life and choose to beg for support in the form of pennies and loose change. To these people, feeling that they have given up any hope of getting their feet back on the ground is a normal response if they were asked up close and personal.

Beggars of Today

While sharing a nickel or a quarter may go a long way for them, it is hard to believe the people would simply lie over and die. But to some people in such an unfortunate situation, it is more than simple surrender but another aspect of personal proportions that have led them to lose hope and live the rest of their days in misery.

Money and support is not all the things in a person�s life. The matter of affection and care is also an invisible need that people tend to overlook. For people who fill the streets in rags and dirty clothes, a simple comfort and smile may eventually give their lives a new lease.

Looking Through the Eyes of Despair

By

Eyes of Despair

A lot can be said about a person by one glance of their eyes. Expressions can be extracted from a person�s eyes and this is something that can be obviously connoted up close. Especially for children who are certainly innocent and are no experts in hiding inner emotions and feelings, it is but normal to get a prelude to what they are experiencing at the moment. It is simply something that is hard to find.

While the whole story of such plights of lesser fortunate siblings cannot be entirely assessed, it does not take a person to understand why such people would be found in that predicament. But people do not really need to hear their story as most would come from typical mishaps such as financial and lesser responsible people who start to become selfish at certain points of their lives.

Siblings are the victims of such selfish acts and bearing the brunt for them is totally unacceptable.

Guidance for the Wandering Children

By

Misguidance and lack of moral training is what younger children of today lack. Such can be seen in their actions and beliefs, believing in things and practicing unusual behavior that is mostly inherited from actual experiences and minimal knowledge inherited. Their elders would come from varied backgrounds, obviously lacking in directing and teach them the right and wrong things about how to live their lives.

Juvenile Delinquent

Most of them become juvenile delinquents and become connected to acts which most would consider as unbecoming based on their age. While the origin from their upbringing is a useless recourse, orphanages and correctional facilities are put up to set them towards the right direction.

But for these groups to be maintained, funding and help from people who want to improve the well-being of such members of our society is needed. Setting these children in the right direction is one thing but to support through funding is another hence the need for aid from various good hearted souls a necessity.

Helping out the People with Diseases and Mental Illnesses

By

Health has been a very delicate issue and while there are the usual cures for most contracted or inherited diseases, the matter of being able to come up with funds to seek medication or advice has been the obstacle for most people today. Not all people are capable of affording the physician fees and medicines to cure such diseases.

The Less Fortunate People of the Poverty

A lot of people are aware of these, hence the reason why projects such as medical missions have become common today. A form of charity geared towards the overall health of people of group in a certain region, extending a helping hand at the best capacity is what people aim to do.

However, while lives are hard to maintain, there is no promise that all can be served. But with the joint efforts anywhere in the world, putting a stomp to such issues may be accomplished. All it needs is patience and dedication to these people who seek help in any form from such diseases or illnesses today.

Holiday Giving: Thrive

By

Up next in the charities to consider for the upcoming season of giving is Thrive, a UK charity which helps the diasbled and mentally ill through gardening. Unlike other charities which supply medicine, food or fund research, Thrive helps people by providing a purposeful activity which helps them to cope with a difficult period in their life.

Thrive

Mission: Thrive is a national charity, founded in 1978, that makes use of gardening to change the lives of disabled people.

Gardening is a wonderfully flexible medium through which an individual can accomplish many things. Some may be immediately apparent, such as rebuilding strength after an accident or an illness, or providing a purposeful activity which helps people to cope with a difficult period in their life. Some may be less obvious such as helping to improve literacy through a simple task such as labelling a plant or reading a seed packet. There are some disabled people who simply want to enjoy gardening but need practical advice and skills to get started or to progress.

Focus: To research, educate and promote the use and advantages of gardening that can be accessed by anyone and everyone with a disability.

How They Help: Thrive�s activities are varied but all focus on championing the benefits of gardening to individuals and organisations, as well as teaching techniques and practical applications so that anyone with a disability can take part and enjoy this activity. Underpinning Thrive�s work is a research programme which provides evidence, improves understanding and supports the development of appropriate skills.

Online Donations? yes
