ReplyDelete1: Yes a would donate a lot of money in fact because there are people out there with no food and i would have had more than enough if I was rich. There are also people who have bad diseases like cancer and that could be fatal even for young kids maybe even younger then me! They deserve better!!!!!
#2: I would choose two charity's, one that gives food or shelter to the less fortunate. The other charity that i would donate to is one that helps people and young kids fight cancer and other fatal diseases.

ReplyDeleteQuestion 1:
of course i would donate money if i had a lot of money like those people in the article because their are many people around the world that live in poor countries that need donations, medical care support ,and food to survive. they need vaccinations and diseases they have. I would most certainly donate to help out people like that.
Question:2
If I donated to a charity i would choose The Red Cross, Sick Kids foundation, O.S.P.C.A, and i would also donate to the salvation army. i would donate to all these charity's because i am willing to make a change in the world if i had a lot of money i would certainly try my best to help people that are in need of help and also animals.

ReplyDelete1.Yes if i had allot of money i would donate some of it because there are people in the world who need it more than me. 2.If i were to make a donation i would donate to the o.s.p.c.a because i love animals and don't like seeing them suffer. 3.Forbes magazine publishes this information because people find it interesting.I think they want to compare how much they make a year to how much the people in the magazine make a year. 4.I think they feel proud because they have allot of money.

ReplyDeleteIf I had a lot of money like those people in the article yes I would donate some of the money to people in Africa. I would do that because people in Africa do not have all the good things that we have here in Canada.
The cause that I would donate the money to would be Africa. I chose that cause because here in Canada we have like ten pairs of shoes (well at least I do) where in Africa they only have one or none. Th at is why I would donate some of my money to Africa.

2.If i where to donate money to a charity i would donate it to the red cross foundation or sick kids because I'm helping poor children who need help and also my cousin need to go to sicks kids almost every week because he is autistic!

ReplyDeleteQuestion #1:
If i had a lot of money i would donate a portion of it to a charity that helps animals find homes.
Question #2:
I would donate my money to the O.S.P.C.A because i believe in the rights of animals and don't think they should be abused and kicked out of their homes. This charity is important to me because i keep seeing stray animals that got abandoned from their home and i want to take every single one home but i know i can't.

Question two:
I would donate money to the cancer foundation, the O.S.P.C.A, and any children charities I could.These charities are important to me because many of my family members have died from cancer, I hate seeing animals suffer, and i don't like seeing children suffer either.
