I would like to see programs to help single mom's. Not a hand-out program but something to give them education and skills to succeed in life and at the same time it would need to help them survive and take care of their children.

Teen Suicide Prevention. One of the focuses would be anti-bullying and anti-clicks. Kids are terrible to other kids that aren't in their group. They are meanest to those that end up being most susceptible to suicide.

Carol,

We are focused on Charity Water that digs wells throughout impoverished nations. And, we are also big proponents of education, which we believe is the great equalizer. By education, we don't mean canned learning, we are talking about teaching people to think and question. And as always, we are also big on animals! A

Funding seniors and their caregivers.

Wow! That is a chronic need and so 'off the radar' that it is heart breaking.

I would invest in the 'micro lending' concept to teach and enable others how to make money. Preferred audience is those who are economically vulnerable but BEFORE the emergency surfaces.
