A guy i work with said his mom is getting involved in 'Mom's for Moms' day, which basically means that a bunch of mothers get together and do many great things for single mothers on welfare or who are sick etc, everything from just nice little errands, to donations to giving clothing or finding them a job, I'm not sure how this fits in, but it made me feel really great to think that there are organizations like this that i'm still finding out every day!
Donating to an organization that your mother is concerned about is a great idea! Thanks!
