Man- this is a tough one. There are SO many things I want to do. Honestly, I would probably want something that helps overweight kids/teens cope with the emotional issues attached to being overweight and helps them lose the weight.

I would create an organization that offers support to women who have been sexually assaulted.

I would create a real life hotel for dogs to care for homeless pets.

I’d go with some sort of charity that does research specifically for Pancreatic cancer. my father passed away less than a month after being diagnosed with it and it seems like that’s pretty standard. life expectancy for pancreatic cancer is so low and that needs to change.

If I could start a charity it would be one to provide unprocessed, healthy food and nutritional education to underprivileged children and families. Growing up in America there isn’t enough focus on encouraging healthy eating habits in children from a young age so they have the knowledge to make the right decisions as they grow up.

I would love to create a charity that works with promoting physical fitness and healthy eating habits umongst woman in developing countries. Hopefully, one day I can do it!

I love the aprons and definitely will have to check out this charity/non-profit…especially for my sister..she loves China!

Easy! I would create a STEM program/charity that offers after school and weekend/summer activities and is free and extremely high impact for all students and teachers! I work in STEM outreach but it is so hard to be able to reach a lot of children who really need it. The school and family budgets are just way too tight. Right now in my state, students only receive 25 minutes of science per week and that is just not enough to teach them such important concepts and inspire budding scientists! When given the chance, these children can amaze you with what they can do! They deserve the opportunity!

My charity would be to teach elementary school children in workshops about exercise, nutrition and loving them selves. These things need to be instilled early!

i’d like to help empower citizens to be more comfortable with science.

I think I’d create a charity that brought healthy, TASTY school lunches to schools in need. Some kids get most of their nutrition from school meals and they are absolutely awful (both in taste and nutrition). They deserve better!

Love the aprons!

I would start a charity that helps feed, house, educate and rehab the homeless. I hate seeing anyone sleep on the streets. I’m not a religous person, but I think we are all equal in God’s eyes, and we all deserve to have our basic needs met.

these are beautiful aprons! and i love the story behind them.

i’m not sure about creating a new charity but i believe strongly in the american foundation for suicide prevention (is a non-profit foundation a charity? google says maybe?). bringing awareness about mental illness and suicide prevention measures/education/training to local communities.

Look at that smile in the last picture! 😀

I’d create a charity that helped abused women get back on their feet and gain self-confidence.

I just got back from Ecuador where I was working with men overcoming drug and alcohol addictions…I’d love to be able to help them (and women too!) more.

I’m from China originally myself.. so to see this going to help the women in rural China makes my heart just… I’m buying one for myself now… and probly more as Xmas gifts. Aren’t they just so cute and pretty!? Yes, if I could create/work on a charity of my choice… I really want to help all the kids in the rural areas of China where education is just not a choice when they grew up and without education… you just get trapped in this endless loop of same life 🙁

I would love to start an organization that offers restorative yoga classes for combat veterans and people impacted by trauma, and really interested in creating educational programs centered on integrative health and well-being that are accessible, practical and sustainable for everyday life.

A charity that would provide financial support for medical bills for babies born prematurely.

What a wonderful question, one that I’ve thought about a lot. I would like to start a non profit providing free (or reduced cost) mental health services to people and families looking to lose weight or live a healthier lifestyle. For some people, reaching and maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t just come down to ‘eating less’. Many overweight people use food the way they would use drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, or even exercise, as a coping mechanism for feelings other than just hunger.

These are beautiful! ah so many ideas for charity work but I would want to create a charity that partners communities together. I know that many organizations provide relief following disasters, but I think it would be fabulous to pair a community that got hit by a storm with another and have the two work together, forge relationships, etc to help them get back on their feet. Of course, I’m not quite sure how this would all play out, but we can always dream, right?

There are of course charities helping animals already, but it is a cause close to my heart. I would want to help the cause more – raising money to spay/neuter stray animals, get them homes etc. I would want a lot of my efforts to be focused on the adoption of pets – there are tons of animals out there who need forever homes!

I would create a no “group” home world. No child deserves to be in a group home without a family because some families cannot afford the CRAZY adoption fee’s!

I would use it to help people with eating disorders who can’t afford treatment on their own. I am in recovery from anorexia and am so blessed that my parents helped me pay for my treatment. Most insurance doesn’t cover it and without treatment I probably would not be where I am now.

I would start a charity to benefit children with Autism- those kiddo’s have my heart. 🙂

Counseling women that have depression after having an abortion.

I would want to create a charity that funds higher education for those who are bright, but can’t afford it!

i would love everyone to have a beautiful home.

Those aprons are SO cute! If I had all the time and money in the world, I’d create a community kitchen where inner-city kids and families could learn to cook healthy, inexpensive meals, and pick up inexpensive, healthy pre-started meals that would encourage us all to eat healthier! 🙂

A charity that would feed hungry children. There is no reason any child should go to bed hungry in this country.

I’d love to start a charity for teenagers in rough neighborhoods that teaches and shows them that they don’t have to continue with the drug/violence cycle.

I would creat a charity that started programs at hospitals and/or schools to create gardens that are maintained by the staff/students. The garden would then provide at least part of the fresh vegetables and possibly fruit fed to patients or students 🙂

I would LOVE to start a children’s literacy program. When my oldest son was a baby I realized what a privilege it is to be able to afford to have a bookcase of children’s books for him. I thought of how hard it would be to be poor and just able to pay for the basic necessities. So I dreamt up this idea of a nonprofit that went into the hospitals, found moms getting prenatal care and signing them up to be eligible for free kids books. Maybe have a session or two about the importance to read for a child-you could have a link to adult literacy if that became an issue. And then give the moms a basket of books for the baby’s first year. Ultimately it would be great to send a more books every year on the baby’s birthday. Even specializing the books according to the interest of the child! I actually often go over this in my mind a lot. I think people want to be the best parents they can, but it’s so hard. And it must be so so so much harder when you are working hard to just make sure you have the basics. All children deserve to have books in their rooms.

I think there are already so many charities I would research ones that do things close to my heart (women’s shelters and childhood hunger) and help those instead of adding yet another charity. I really feel like there are so many charities doing the same thing if they got together and pooled their resources they could serve more.

Wow, what beautiful aprons! I’d create a charity for girls to help empower them through music.

I’d have a charity for the empowering of woman. All types of women doing things for other women.

I would create a charity for those with Autism and their dedicated families. I love how each of these children are so unique and most have very hilarious senses of humor! It would be my dream to be able to use my degree in special education to do something bigger than the day to day stuff 🙂 Love those aprons! makes me want to go cook cook cook!

When I grow up… I want to create an inspiring studio area for undernourished individuals tp nuture their spiritual, physical, and creative needs!

STEM programs in low income schools, in every grade. STEM curriculum and after school care combined for free!

What a neat organization! I’ve never thought about what type of charity I would create. I do love the idea of organizations that help women set up sustainable sources of income, but I think I would like to set up a charity to help women (especially single mothers) with post-partum depression.

I would want to educate people about issues low income people face. Prejudice is such a huge problem! I LOVE these aprons.

Such a beautiful cause and gorgeous aprons!! 🙂
I would create a children’s cancer charity dedicated to furthering research as well as supporting the patients and their brothers and sisters. Unfortunately, pediatric cancer it is the number one killer of kids by disease in the United States and only receives 3-4 percent of national funding. I would love to be able to give personalized care backpacks to each child starting their treatment plan (to include a handmade blanket and chemo beanie, books and games based on patient specific preferences, and support literature for the parents ). My ultimate goal would be to provide each child with 1,000 origami cranes (Japanese tradition of getting one wish) as symbols of support, love, and hope. The cranes could be strung as a beautiful mobile. Also, I would love to get local schools and organizations involved in making cards with well wishes and even folding cranes to support the kids. The charity would also fund grants for researchers studying pediatric cancers.

I would absolutely love to run a some sort of farm where foster children could come and work with the animals and get involved with 4-H.

I have this idea that I would love to create an organization in which adults with disabilities can earn wages by making learning to put together healthy options for quick to-go lunches for working people (and anyone else too busy to make their own). It would combine two of my passions- empowering individuals with disabilities and creating and educating others on healthy simple options!

If you had asked me 9 months ago, I would’ve said an animal rescue…now that I have my daughter, I’d want a charity to take care of all the babies/children who don’t have a stable, loving, parent to show them how amazing and special they are!

I would create a charity for animals.

I would like to create an all-inclusive charity that helps to stop the cycle of poverty in our country. We would provide housing and food for families who are in need of help getting back on thier feet. Job coaching and training (education) would be available and necessary for adults as well as a mentoring program. The children would receive nutricious meals and packed lunches as well as the opportunity for a quality education. Once the family has graduated from the program they would receive continuous support and mentor the next group coming in.
There would also be an opportunity for college scholarships and job mentoring programs once the kids graduate from high school.

Definitely a charity to help animals. I’ve always thought it would be cool to buy some land and adopt shelter animals that can’t be placed elsewhere due to age/illness, etc.

I want to create a safe haven for girls who have been abandoned by their families in India and provide them with the necessary education and healthcare to be self-reliant. I think it is so important for everyone, especially these girls to receive an education.

With all the money in the world, I would create a program providing free health care to all. Preventative care first and foremost, allowing for education on the importance of healthy lifestyles as a way to decrease the rates of so many chronic disease. With free (high quality) health care, emergency rooms would not be as overcrowded, health care expenditures would not be as high, so many people would not be in debt due to high health care costs, and my hope would be that mortality would decrease from a number of preventable diseases.

I’d create a charity focused on stopping bullying and promoting nonviolent communication in schools. This is a huge crisis that gets a ton of coverage when something terrible happens (i.e. Amanda Todd), but then quickly falls by the wayside again. This breaks my heart.

Also, I cannot get enough of that red apron with the blue flower pocket!

Hmm, hard to decide but dachshund rescue, fertility/miscarriage support, and pancreatic cancer are three causes close to my heart.

A charity to support teenage foster kiddos.

This is easy…I would love to promote physical activity and sports participation in kids of all abilities!!!
