Today I have something a bit different for you all.
I'm not usually one to read up on these celebrity articles and what not, cause it simply doesn't phase me. I feel like there are so much better things to focus on in life than other peoples personal lives.
Anyway, to my point. Many of us are aware of Emma Stone & Andrew Garfield... stars of The Amazing Spiderman? Well these two are actually the perfect example of using their fame to give back, not in the sense where they're all "I earn so much money, someone take a photo of me giving this charity a cheque", but in fact using the attention that they attract to raise awareness for charities.
The couple were out in New York City, so Emma Stone made a sign reading “Good morning! We were eating and saw a group of guys with cameras outside. And so we thought, let’s try this again. We don’t need the attention, but these wonderful organizations do,” with an arrow pointing at Andrew Garfield's sign reading “www.youthmentoring.org, www.autismspeaks.org (and don’t forget) www.wwo.org, www.gildasclubnyc.org. Here’s to the stuff that matters. Have a great day!”
With these signs covering their faces, they were showing the world to use what they've got for good, use it to help others who actually need the help.
It doesn't hurt to reach out, even if it can't be a monetary donation.... there are thousands of charities looking for clothes, shoes, or even food donations, something as simple as some bedding can help a family in need through a cold winter. A simple shoutout to a charity can make all the difference.
I, myself donate frequently to the Salvation Army and St Vincents de Paul charities with clothes that I no longer wear, it can help someone who will make better use with it than I will.
Just remember, one person may not be able to change the world, but they can spark the mind of someone who will. For now, take care my loves.
