There are many worthy charitable organizations, especially those that research cures for numerous diseases, cancer, MS, etc. But giving to various arts organizations can truly change your life. During a time when I was getting a divorce and suffering from some health issues, I became involved with some arts / theatre organizations that provided the companionship and camaraderie I needed. Without these organizations, my depression would have gotten much worse and who knows what might have happened. I've given to several arts organizations over the years and have stories from so many people how having those organizations be part of their lives made a significant difference. The arts may not cure cancer, but they do make dealing with all sorts of challenges: physical, mental, and emotional, easier to deal with. The arts help the shy to blossom, the alone to feel companionship and have a purpose, and well to give back to those in need. I hope you'll consider supporting the arts in this season of giving!
