Thursday Thirteen 22nd Edition

[xakara]

Hello Kittens,

I'm in a reflective mood right now, not to mention exhausted, so things shall be short and sweet. This section is short, the list is sweet. I know that many of us don't have enough money to get everything we want done for ourselves, let alone for other. Fortunately advertisers want our attention so badly that they're willing to d something good to get it. There are several sites that will let you click on a button daily, and for each click their sponsors donate for you. And if you actually buy some of the things offered they donate even more. So I offer you this Thursday, 13 Charity Sites Where A Click Makes A Difference.

Enjoy and give a little time so others can enjoy their lives as well. 

13 Charity Sites Where Your Clicks Make a Difference
1. The Breast Cancer Site.com ~ One of the first click-to-donate sites I ever found and one I trust completely. For those with money to spend they have some wonderful items to show your support for the cause.

2. The Hunger Site.com ~ A partner of the first six I list, it is one I'm also familiar with and use regularly.

3. The Rainforest Site.com ~ This site has some of the best gift items for those who want their purchases to have real meaning when they give a birthday or holiday gift.

4. The Literacy Site.com ~ As a writer, literacy is close to my heart. I click regularly and have my eye on a few items here. Among them a great Tshirt that says: Life is Simple. Eat. Sleep. Read.

5. The Animal Rescue Site.com ~ All of you animal lovers should rush here if you don't visit regularly already. You can not only save animals for free, but when you are ready to spend money, you can deck out yourself and make your pet happy with gifts that really matter.

6. The Child Health Site.com ~ I am one of the millions of Americans without health insurance and I know how tough that is. I can only imagine what it's like in less developed countries. More than 657,000 children were helped in 2007, be a part of making it 1 Million children in 2008.

7. The Environment Site.org ~ This site is new to me, as are all of those below. Yet I'm ready to give them a try and hope that you are too.

8. The Stop HIV Site.com ~ A simple site that's still growing. But it doesn't need to be fancy to be helpful.

9. Ecology Fund.com ~ A gorgeous site that allows you to click on several charity sites to save land, animals, oceans, clean air, and more.

10. Race for the Oceans ~ This site is wonderful and will give you access to 11 sites in total. It's one of my new favorites over all, and Ocean wildlife will benefit from this particular link.

11. Race to Stop Global Warming ~ A click here offsets one pound of carbon emissions a day. Come on, you're on the computer anyway, it's the least you can do.

12. Race for the Big Cats. ~ With so much in the news about Tiger attacks and such, I don't want the negative press to distract folks from the fact that these animals are endangered. They were in areas to attack people because we took them out of their natural habitat for personal gain. Helping them is the least we can do despite the issues in the current media.

13. Race to Stop Violence ~ As I started with a women's issue, (although I don't forget the men who have had breasts cancer) I end with one. This is a site dedicated to saving women around the world from violence. If you visit nothing else, please visit this one and make the difference in the life of a woman who will go to bed frightened and hopeless this night.

Cool! Like you, I only knew about the first 6 (they're one of the first things I do every morning when I log on my computer). I'll have to add the rest. Thanks for pointing them out!

You never cease to amaze me. My eyes light up when I see your blog on the Thursday Thirteen site, I thought about you since my TT this week is pretty sexual, and now I find out you have a heart this deep? Thanks. You just made my day.

[moondancerdrake.livejournal.com]

I'll have to toss this one into memories to help me remind myself to click on these everyday. To much stuff in my brain most days.

Happy TT

Wow X, what a great list. I didn't know about most of them and it will take me a little bit to get them all bookmarked, but I will. You have a big heart, thanks for sharing.

Remind me of these sites when I start looking for charities to support, okay? (more on all that later)

As for the tigers, I thought part of the problem is that we're chasing them out of their habitat and taking the land over for ourselves. One thing I learned on my Yellowstone trip was how important it is for us to learn to live with nature and to quit turning it into manicured lawns.

I'll hop off my soapbox before I work up a head of steam.

Happy TT! Hope the writing's going well!

Thanks for bookmarking them. I'm happy to share the click-habit and get as many people as possible to help in some small way.

I will happily remind you of these sites when you start looking for charities to support. One snag however...I'm not sure who you are! Please come back and sign your comment. :)

Oh, and feel free to have a soap box moment when necessary. They happen to me all the time. :)

Thank you, Vix. I know what it's like to grow up as a part of a family that could use a little help for one reason or another. And even though I don't have a lot by the standards of others, I have the time and ingenuity to help where I can!

Thanks for letting me know you'll take up the click habit.

[xakara.livejournal.com]

I find brightly colored mini post-it's on the computer screen help to establish the habit. :)

What an incredibly sweet thing to say. Both that I continue to amaze, and that a sexual TT reminded you of me. LOL. It means my sexuality TT's made a good impression, which is good because there are more down the line.

Thanks so much for coming by and for the compliments. I truly appreciate them. :)

You're so welcome Darla. I'm very happy to have found the last three because they lead to so many others no matter which of them you choose. It's efficent and they all help great causes.

Thanks for coming by, not just today, but always. :)

As a former zookeeper, and wildlife advocate, I'd like to remind folks that big cats attack because humans have encroached upon their territory, pushing them to ever-smaller habitats where the food supply is dwindling. The real solution to wildlife devastation is controlling the overpopulation of humans on this planet.

(off soapbox now). Great list, Xakara

Thanks Kelly,

And I completely agree. It's exactly what I was talking about when I said we've removed them from their habit for personal gain. We expand into their territory and then the only thing we can do is place them in zoo and sacntuaries because we've destroyed their habitats. We need to not only control overpopulation but exorbitant consumerism that calls for great destruction of resources.

Whoops, look at that, a soapbox of my own materialized beneath my feet. LOL

lOVED this T13 and have bookmarked it. You're so right about the importance of each of these causes; bless you for doing the work of rounding these up.

thanks for visiting mine (damozel)

Thank you for this list! I, too, have those first 6 bookmarked. Now I have a few more places to go.

Happy TT.

I've been clicking on the Breast Cancer site for years (and in fact have a link to them on my blog), but I didn't know about some of these others. Thanks for the heads up.

Great list

Gosh, I had no idea there were so many of these. Thank for putting together such a diverse list. There's even a few I will use! :)

I'm sorry you're mentally exhausted. I hope you recover soon!

I just went over to a few of the sites and clicked the appropriate buttons. Thanks for sharing these with us.

By the way, I have provided the answers to my TT about Jack Nicholson movie quotes. You will find them in the comments section of the post.
