4. I have always wished I had enough money to donate.

My wish would to be to donate money to a service animal group. There are people who have unseen physical disabilities who can not get help acquiring a service dog. I am one of those people and I could never find any organization who helped those like me. It is both for animals and people at the same time because most service animals that are not guide dogs come from shelters and it helps those who really need them to get them and get help to professionally train them. I have worked for shelters for some years and they need a lot of help. I am positive that at some point any type of government ( federal, state, county, and city ) are going to cut funding for shelters. I am not looking forward to strays out on the streets getting killed and abused so that is another place I would donate to. That is just my thought. I am also referring to non-kill shelters which I did not have the pleasure of working for as I worked for the county animal shelter.
