Note: In order to keep track of their allowance, their savings and the money they’d like to give to those in needs, the Francie Girls all recommend placing your money in a Learning Cents Bank.

My favorite charity is Unicef. Unicef gives children of the world a voice, hope and the chance at a better future. I’m so proud to collect $ for Unicef every year when I go trick or treating and I will be saving my pennies all year long for Unicef.

My favorite charity is Healthy Child, Healthy World. You may not know this about me, but I have allergies and asthma. It doesn’t slow me down too much! My mom and I  have learned so much about healthy cleaning products, sustainable eco friendly building practices, and pesticide free nutrition  from Healthy Child, Healthy World. It’s made a big difference for me and that means I almost never have to miss a gymnastics meet because of my allergies. 

My choice of charity this year is Kidsave International. Kidsave helps older orphans from Eastern Europe, Asia and South America receive job training and learn new skills. They have a “summer miracles” program that helps foreign kids find forever families. They also work with local fostering organizations. Their motto is “Every Child Deserves a Family”  

Did you know my little sister was a preemie? We are very lucky that she has not had any lasting issues from this. When Kiara was born the March of Dimes was there for my family. My mom and dad are huge advocates of the March of Dimes and so am I! It’s important to give babies the best start they can possibly have.

I have such a special bond with my horse Butterscotch and my other pets too. I can’t imagine a world without my furry friends! But sometimes animals don’t have a loving human to take care of them. That’s why I am saving money this year to benefit the Humane Society.  I hope I can raise enough to help several animals find homes and get medical treatment this year!
