mollzerlalala: Charities

I originally wrote this after messaging Nick Knowles's P.A some questions for a blog. After not gaining a response for a number of months,I changed the blog to be about charities and charitable people. I had a whole paragraph on Nick already so it seemed like a good start only then I went to upload it to somehow cut the top half of the blog instead of copying it. I had over half of the work I already did along with the links to website from the top half,so have added the rest in. I'm not sure wrote I wrote in the beginning but I think what I have written continues to make sense.

Number 1: The Abled Fables

The abled Fables aim is to create inclusive apparel and children's books to promote disability inclusion. Their first book "Gary's gigantic dream" has just recently been published. Gary's gigantic dream follows a giraffe named Gary as he gets fitted for his first wheelchair. The abled fables also shares stories of children with disabilities.

Number 2: The tiered girls society:

The tierd girls society have created a website to give women with chronic illnesses a break from their conditions. The website includes clubs, courses, ebooks and even a shop.

Number 3: The Cameron Boyce foundation

The Cameron Boyce foundation was set up in memory of Cameron's after his death in the summer of this year. And strives to advocate for everything Cameron was passionate about during his life. Including getting clean water to those who desperately need it, raising awareness to epilepsy and finding an end to gun violence.

Their first project is one on which is called "Welding peace" with the aim of ending gun violence through a social media campaign which asks people to hold up something they love (EG: a musical instrument,a piece of sports equipment ect..) the main aim of this is to show young people violence is not the answer and to give them creative outlets to Express themselves with.

Number 4: Care packages

There are many care package organisations around online. The aim of care package companies is to raise awareness for many disabilities whilst sending out small gift boxes to terminally/ chronically ill people. Receiving a little gift or pick me cam really help when you are going through a hard time and I really love this concept.
