Have you ever taken a deep breath after you read the news about the inhumane and atrocious conditions in which children in poor countries live?

Have you ever wished with all your heart to be able to satiate other people’s hunger and mend their emotional and physical scars?

Have you ever wanted to change the world but have little time and money to do so?

If your answer to at least one of these questions is yes, I’ve got something for you.

You can make an impact through these three free charity apps. Here is the list:

1. Share The Meal

“With a tap on your smartphone, you can “share the meal” with a child in need. It costs only US $ 0.50 to feed one child for a day.”

Share The Meal is the world’s first mobile application developed to fight against global hunger. This initiative was created by the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and has been impacting hundreds of lives.

If you desire to share a meal right now, you can choose between feeding a child for one day ($0.50), for one week ($3.50), for one month ($15.00), for three months ($45.00), or for a year ($182.50). On the other hand, if you are devoted to ending hunger and have the financial resources to take aid further, then you can click on the “Give Monthly” button.

In addition, you are able to choose between helping Rohingya children, alleviating Syrian children refugees’ pain or supporting children who are fighting famine in Nigeria.

Log in. Tap. Done.

It’s that easy.

2. Charity Miles

“Move with purpose. Earn money for charity.”

What if I told you that every single time that you walk to your 9 a.m. class, grab a coffee with a friend, go to the gym or walk your neighbor’s cute dog, you can actually save a life?

In another time in history, people would think I’d gone crazy.

Truth is, we live in the 21st century, and this, my friend, is entirely possible.

How?

Charity Miles is a socially-driven, for-profit company that created an app that enables users to earn money for a cause when they move.

Turn your phone on. Log in. Choose from 1 of their 37 charity partners like Operation Smile, Save the Children, Pencils of Promise or The American Diabetes Association and get moving.

3. Donate a Photo


You take a photo, we make it look good.

Wait… WHAT?

Yup, you read that right. Something as simple as taking a picture can help individuals all around the globe.

This application is strikingly simple to use.

First, explore the cause categories. The categories are women’s and children’s health, healthy families, health workforce, environmental health, global disease challenges, essential surgery, education and quality, and emergency relief.

Second, choose a nonprofit.

Then, shoot a picture.

Share it.

For every photo you share through this app, Johnson & Johnson donates $1.00 to a nonprofit of your choice. (You can donate one photo per day.)

If you are the type of person who wants to make a difference,

You are welcome.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
