Sorry to hear
Every year, I make it a rule to pick 1 charity cause to donate 10% of my income to. In the past, I've tried to look for and identify charities that have as little to no relation or benefit to me (i.e. not donate to a theater I attend) so my focus in years past has been to pick 3rd world countries. My 2010 contribution was going to go towards World Vision, but my aunt was diagnosed with cancer so I broke my charity rule and made my 10% of income donation to the cancer society, and got a 100% company match. I was 2 days late from having my bank donate 200% of my contribution up to a limit of $5000 (which I would have been able to max out), unfortunately.
Depending how 2011 goes, it might be the cancer society again, otherwise its going to World Vision.
