Tiny Hats, Or How to Choose a Charity to Support
I have always liked the idea of volunteering and giving more than just money to a cause, but the thing is, I don’t really like doing the things that volunteering for a lot of organizations would require me to do. I detest talking on the phone, I’m not too great with people in person and […]
