One of my goals this year was to become more involved in philanthropy. After helping feed the homeless not too long ago i found an article in one of my Houston magazines about these girls that started an organization to connect people with various charities and ways to give back. Its called Charity Chick's Houston. They have a very long list of organizations you can become involved with.
yesterday i was browsing for something to get involved with and i found one called Wish Upon a Wedding. Its a foundation that helps make people who are terminally ill fulfill their dreams of having a wedding to the one they love. Some people have several years while others have several weeks to live. While i'm in no rush to get married, For those who dont have much time to live, I think its really sweet that they do this for some. There was one story where a lady had three weeks to live and they threw her a wedding. read about it here. It happened back in May in Seattle and the lady has since passed but omg so sweet.
The Houston chapter just kicked off and is having their launch party next week. I emailed their president and asked how i can be of further help and let her know i'd like to be a volunteer. With as many weddings as i have been in i figured I could easily help! Being in my friends and some of my family member's weddings have been such beautiful moments for me that i think its awesome to give that gift to those people who dont have much time. if anyone is interested in volunteering with me let me know. I'm checking out other places listed on Charity Chicks. Especially childrens and animal ones :)
