Three Worthy Causes I Support

1) 826 – Because I Am A Writer Who Believes Literacy Empowers People

“826 National is a nonprofit tutoring, writing, and publishing organization with locations in seven cities across the country. Our goal is to assist students ages six to eighteen with their writing skills, and to help teachers get their classes excited about writing. Our work is based on the understanding that great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention, and that strong writing skills are fundamental to future success.” http://www.826national.org

2) Amnesty International - Because It’s Truly Important

“Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. Our supporters are outraged by human rights abuses but inspired by hope for a better world – so we work to improve human rights through campaigning and international solidarity.” www.amnesty.org

3)  Free The Gnomes! – Because It Makes Me Smile

“Never again shall Gnomekind suffer the indignity of being bombarded with bird feces. Never again should a Gnome be the victim of a careless pizza delivery driver, for there is no greater fear among the Gnomes than that of being crushed by an automobile.” www.freethegnomes.com
