     When I see people on the street homeless and hungry it makes me want to help out. Some things I can do is give food to food drives. Also you can give clothes to Salvation Army. Seeing people less fortunate than you make you want to help out and make their life a little better. Something else you can do is go to a soup kitchen and serve food to people that cant afford it. Thankfully Wood-Ridge isn't too bad when it comes to homeless people. So you can travel to towns with people that aren't as fortunate as Wood-Ridge.

     I feel bad for the people involved the typhoon in the Philippines. Also fr the families who have family that live there, it's possible they could not even know if their family members are alive. Over 10000 people died, it was a very tragic event. Thankfully there are some things us as individuals could do to help. You can donate food through the World Food Program. You can also donate clothes through the salvation army. This is unfortunate but we have to come together and help the Philippines.

     If i was invisible for a day I would go over to an old woman's house named Mary. I would clean up her whole yard. I would also leave a bunch of cooked food for her by her door. Since she is disabled this would help her a lot. Her husband is no longer alive so by doing her yard work she doesn't have to do it or pay anyone to do it. By giving her food all she will have to do is heat it up. Mary won't have to spend all her time cooking. Instead she can spend her time on leisure activities.
     I will also drop off all new sewing supplies. It's Mary's favorite hobby. Because sewing is getting expensive she won't have to spend money on it. Also she will not have to drive and risk her's or someone else's life. Because i'm invisible she will not know who did these favors for her. Therefore she can't feel obligated to repay them. This is a nice thing to do and she will appreciate it greatly. She has no one to do this for her because she has no family. It will feel good to do a nice deed.
