What an inspiring story, and her tops are just adorable!
After seeing my husband's Grandma and my own Grandpa succumb to Alzheimer's disease, I would have to say my favorite charity is the Alzheimer's Foundation.
Alz.org

Loved "Three Cups of Tea" and was inspired by the power of education in impoverished countries. Children can get involved in this charity and they start to appreciate all the gifts they have at their school. www.penniesforpeace.org.

Lovely, simply lovely - the story and the clothes. I have several charities I support with money and my time. My tops at the moment are
1. Open Paw, Inc. http://www.openpaw.org
an education based organization that wants to help people keep their pets in their homes happily everafter rather than surrendering them into a shelter. It also works with shelters around the world with its mental health guidelines for pets who are in shelters to help them get adopted quickly and by the right families.
2. AVON 2 Day walk for breast cancer. I walked this year on behalf of my best friend from high school. We raised $6 million for treatment and research in the SF Bay Area.
3. Chabot Space & Science Center http://www.chabotspace.org. A nonprofit education organization that is helping to inspire the next generation of science leaders. Science literacy is so important to our world.
Thank you Ali for sharing all of these with us.

Very cute! I am also a sewer, but have been way too busy lately.My son, age 13, is diabetic so I support the juvenile diabetes foundation at www.jdrf.org

I love any charities that involve kids. I love Young Life. I think it is a great place for teenagers.

I always donate to the Arthritis Foundation. My great-aunt was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 18, and passed away 5 years ago. I named my daughter after her.
My mother was recently diagnosed with RA, and at 27 I found out I have arthritis too.
Hopefully they will be able to find a cure for RA in the future.
Thanks for the chance to win,

Such beautiful work, and so very generous! One of my favorite charities is http://www.samaritanspurse.org/ they do a variety of work around the world, but my daughter and I love their Operation Christmas Child project, where we fill a shoebox for a child in another country. My daughter really enjoys it and it's a great way to get kids involved.

Well, I support many but have to do the "shameless plug" for what I do every day - I am the health center manager for Planned Parenthood here and every day we see more and more women who need gyn care and birth control who have lost insurance (or are not covered by their employers) who have no where to turn. So in the spirit of keeping the doors open: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/rochester-syracuse/donate-22632.htm
Thanks! Sher B.

My favorite is The leukemia and Lymphoma Society. My brother Jesse past last May after a long couragous fight with leukemia.

What beautiful items and a wonderful friend she is. I will keep that little boy in my prayers. My best friend's mom had a bone marrow transplant years ago, and I remember how hard some days are, especially if there are complications.
There are so many fabulous charities out there, but one of my favorites is Mayan Families. Guatemala holds a special place in my heart and this organization does great things for kids there.

What a lovely, wonderful story. Inspiring!
My favorite charity which I donate my graphic design skills to is Childhaven located in WA state. www.childhaven.org
They are a foundation focused on stopping the cycle of abuse and neglect of children.

Your tops are absolutely gorgeous and your mission is wonderful. Keep up the great work. I personally do a lot of work for our local hospital as a volunteer for their events and by donating to their various funds.

My favorite charity is United Way (Delaware or Columbus). I had little to no exposure to United Way until I joined a company that strongly supports them. Now I pledge and also volunteer to organize fund-raising events to benefit them. I think it's just insane that there are kids in our local communities who are not fed 3 square meals a day - sometimes the meals provided at school is the only meal they get.

I support the Canadian Liver Foundation (http://www.liver.ca/Home.aspx) and the Canadian Cancer Society (http://www.cancer.ca/?sc_lang=en) as I lost my dad to liver cancer early last year.

My favorite charity is Covenant House..helps homeless teens with housing and food...www.covenanthousebc.org

Love all her creations...they're beautiful! And what an awesome thing she is doing to help out her friend as they go through the long process of BMT. I'm sure that family will be forever grateful!
We have a few favorite charities...the SPCA being one of the top. www.spca.com

I'm so tired of being scared of every little lump and bump I find, especially considering family history... My 2 year old son now has several enlarged lymph nodes in his neck and beind his ears that are completely normal, but still freak me out.
Cancer sucks. Big time.

Hi Ali,
My favorite charity is known as "Product RED". It is a global non-profit group that has sought sponsorship through many big businesses (ex. Hallmark, Starbucks Coffee), as well as small grass-root efforts. The proceeds and donations they earn go towards the purchase and distribution of little red pills that can combat AIDS in Africa.

We donate to Montrose Access in memory of my husband's brother Todd who passed away last year aged 20 after a long battle with his illness. Montrose Access help children and young adults with physical disabilities require therapy and support to assist them with day-today activities. www.montroseaccess.org.au

Every year our family gathers shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan's Purse). We fill them up with toys, school supplies, toiletries and other goodies to then be send to needy boys and girls for Christmas.

We had an event called "Bra's for a Cause" You donated old un-used bras and a company paid 5 $ for every donated bra to the breast cancer research fund. After that they cleaned the bra's and gave them to the Women's shelter. Its held every year in October.
