Yes! You read that right you can actually help orphans by shopping online. All you have to do is download a toolbar. After you download the toolbar select choose a cause and type in World Association for Children and Parents. That's it! Now when you shop online at a participating store they will donate 1%-30% of your purchase to your cause (which is orphans I hope!). There is over 2,500 stores that participate. (Amazon, Macy's, Walmart, Sears, Dell, Expedia...just to name a few.)
Let me tell you WHY this is so important.
There are 143,000,000 orphans in the world. And what do you think happens when they 'age out' of the system?
They die.
Or are homeless and unemployed.
Or they turn to a life of crime.
Or are prostitutes. (source)
Very few have a 'normal' life.
There are literately hundreds of ways to help orphans but this one doesn't cost you a dime. So no excuses. If you have time to read my blog you have time to download the toolbar. If you are on the internet right now, and you are if you are reading this, then likely you will be back again and can make good use of the toolbar.
If you choose to not help orphans around the world, either by using the toolbar or by some other means, then good luck sleeping well tonight knowing there are 143,000,000 orphans in the world who need your help and your prayers.
Think it's too hard to help 143,000,00 orphans? Is anything too hard for God?
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (NIV)
"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
