    I support one called "Face Value"

    It's based in Great Ormond Street Hospital for sick children and they do research into facial deformities in kids. The surgeon Mr. Dunnaway goes all around the developing world operating on kids who can't afford it. It he didn't their lives would be hell because their superstitious cultures believe they have been cursed by the devil etc. In fact many don't make it to childhood even if well enough because they are killed at birth. He operated on my son at 18 months old & whose life was changed forever, for the better, because he had craniosynostosis.

    The others are Pancreatic Cancer UK and Alzheimer's society.

    I used to support Scouting/Guiding before they allowed male bodied people who identify as women to share bedrooms overnight and bathrooms with little girls....and sacked two long standing women guide leaders for speaking out.

    My favorite charity?

    MYSELF. Actually after all the, "consider others superior to you, as you look out . . . for the interests of others" mandates that WT forced down our throats I am now throwing that "counsel" to the curb and putting myself first in many areas. Selfish? Perhaps. Warranted? Definitely!

    Shriners' Hospital for Children. I received thousands of dollars worth of medical treatment from them for free. I was in their hospital in Lexington, Kentucky for 9 months when I was 7 years old. I had surgery and extensive therapy.
