Wishing I could afford all the charities

It's that time of year again. It seems like every nonprofit organization in the world is emailing me and asking for year-end donations.

I wish I could afford to support all of the ones that do good work.

Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of money. I scrape just to support myself. Therefore, each year I must pick and choose just a handful of organizations that will get a small donation.

This year it's the following:

• American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

• Amnesty International USA (AIUSA)

• Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), Philadelphia Chapter

I wish I could do more. If I could, I would also send money to:

• Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

• Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

• Human Rights Watch (HRW)

• Human Rights First (HRF)

• Reporters Without Borders (RSF)

... and so many more.

If you can afford to, please support some of these important organizations yourself. Thank you.
