Charities

I am reaching out for some serious help. I am trying for this years christmas to instead of giving my family gifts I am going to donate the money I would have instead spent on a present, as a gift to someone else in need. Now how many more things do we seriously need? With a gift it something we are given and try and find something for it. I know that I think sometimes my life I need something else and so on. However I am truly blessed. I have a roof over my head, a car, job, and am getting an education. Some don't have all of that or any of that. What do I have to complain about? I have been looking up charities and so far these are the ones sticking out to me:
Baal Dan Charities
American Red Cross
Invisible Children
These are ones that I have found so far. I am not cut off to any. I am new to finding an organization. Right now I am in the mind set of a well know organization to be used as a gift. However I would also like to find a charity to donate to ever month. Please share or let me know which one would be best.

Shoes

Recently I have come across this website, CSN Stores, for some great deals on shoes. Now with it being boot season, I was planning on checking out to see what they had to offer. Riding Boots are in right now and would be great selection to look at. I have never shopped at this site before and am not really sure what to expect simply because I wasn't sure what I am looking for. I know that fall is here and next will come a time for winter, both were boot are needed especially in this area. I was doing this post as more of a help me! I am not sure what shoes to get. The site has the Riding Boots, Slouch Boots, and Western Boots. I am going to see which one is truly in this season because I am just not sure. There are some many boots! I don't know which to choose. Please check out the links to help me and other readers know which boots to wear for the coming season!
