The problems today of chemical dependency, mental health struggles and homelessness have never been greater.  More money is being spent on these problems than ever, yet they are getting worse exponentially.

As you transition into recovery, finding a new sense of purpose and meaning in your life is essential. Without a purpose, you risk sliding back to addiction and mental health issues. It's also essential to understand that purpose is not something someone else can give you.

Giving can reintroduce friends and family to the importance of generosity. Knowing someone who gives to charity can be a catalyst for giving to charity yourself. By giving to charity, you may well be helping to remind friends and family of causes they themselves are passionate about and would like to support.

Donating is a selfless act. One of the major positive effects of donating money to charity is simply feeling good about giving. Being able to give back to those in need helps you achieve a greater sense of personal satisfaction and growth; it feels good to help others.

For some, it is to spread compassion and hope among those less fortunate than themselves. For others, it may be to honor a loved one or to show gratitude for the many blessings in their lives.

In anyway, donations helps everyone, from the person donating to the ones receiving and the society in generals benefits from all the good donations bring.
