charity: water is a nonprofit on a mission to bring clean and safe drinking water to every person on the planet. Hundreds of millions of people still live without it, and the effects ripple through health, education, and opportunity, especially for women and children who spend hours each day collecting water. charity: water funds wells, filters, and water systems in communities that need them, working through local partners, and it is famous for a powerful promise: 100 percent of public donations go directly to funding water projects, with operations covered separately. Donors even get to see the GPS coordinates and photos of the projects their money helped build. Its storytelling and transparency have inspired millions to give. For anyone who wants their donation to deliver something as fundamental as clean water, and to see the proof, charity: water is a standout. Give at charitywater.org.
Kindness has a beautiful way of multiplying. Share something thoughtful you recently did for another person, your community, animals, or the planet. Your story does not need to be grand, even the smallest act of kindness may inspire someone else to do good today.

Hello, it's me, Amelia Carrie. I have been running and updating Chances.org since 1999, for free. I pay for the software, hosting, maintenance, apps, and more. That's more than 25 years of my life devoted to doing something I love.
However, the fact is that I am a senior now and due to having to compete with AI for computer graphics work, I can no longer afford to run this site on my own. I need your help, not only to keep it online, but to keep it growing. That's why I am updating Chances.org with a Donate button and a Supporters page.
If you can't afford either, you can still help for free by using the sharing buttons below. Thank you!
With gratitude,
Amelia Carrie
For investors and dreamers: If you are an investor with the means to help Chances.org grow as big as Change.org or GoFundMe, please write to me at ChancesCharity@Gmail.com.
And if you have great plans and ambition, I may even let you take this site over, because everybody deserves a chance.
You can't have change without chances!
