I have voluntered to raise money for an organization called Aids Walk. I became involved through TJ Maxx, and continue to participate with this cause by raising money and taking part in the actual walk.
I have 3 friends who have had children at young ages. I help them out by babysitting for free when they are working and/or are in school as long as it doesn't conflict with my schedule. I feel that this important because day care is extremely expensive and I want them to have a fair chance at improving their lives.
