10$ MILLION
If you had 10$ million dollars, ask yourself.. What would you do with it? You have to donate at least half of it. Who would you donate it to? Studies? To help cure a disease? How would you benefit you?
I would donate my money to the Foster Care Foundation. I’m in Foster Care and the state isn’t the most fun thing to belong to because of the rules and not being able to see your family because of their stupid mistakes. The reason I chose this foundation was because of how hard the holidays hit me. Christmas especially. Not having parents to go and wake up Christmas morning to see what Santa left you. The look on their face when you get exactly what you wanted, is priceless. They know that they’ve made you happy. But being in the system, you don’t exactly get the same experience. Most foster parents will get you presents and there’s the whole sub for Santa thing. However, it’s not the same if you don’t bond that well with your foster parents. Luckily, I do. That doesn’t mean that I love Christmas the way I used to when I was younger. But anyways.. I think that the state should fork over more money to make the holidays better for us.
Presents don’t make your life better, but it will definitely ensure a better Christmas. While the foster parents children are getting presents from Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles.. on and on and on and on, you get your 3 gifts from sub for Santa. It makes you feel left out. All I’m saying is the money that is donated to the system should be given to the children, not to “better the system.” Because they aren’t.

wow i definitely agree with you. i kinda got the feeling that you have a lot more to say about this but obviously you're not going to just put it out there for everyone to see...maybe someday we can be close enough friends to talk about...life.

i remember seeing my moms face when i opened a gift and it WAS exactly what i had wanted. i will never forget it. it is true tho if you dont really bond with your foster parents its a whole different world on christmas day. i remember the year my mom died she wanted to give me a hundred dollars for christmas and my foster parents didnt want me to take it so they said if i excepted it from her then i wouldnt get anything from them. i excepted the money from my mom. she died the next day. i still have that hundred dollar bill.

i totally agree with you because the holidays are something special that you get to spend time with your family and if you cant see them then you should be able to still have a great christmas or thanksgiving.
