In life I believe that we must all do something good. One way to do good is to support a charity. This does not always mean one must give money. Because we all know that times are hard. All one might be able to do is to volunteer with your time and energy for the charity. That is just as effective in supporting a charity. It is always important to make sure you are helping an organization that is making a difference in the world. The Hearing Loss Association of America is a charity that is making a difference.
