I want to ask help for my parents from a charity or something similar?

Question

My parents have sacrificed a lot in their lives like their dreams for my sister and I. They have done so again to take care of their parents until they passed away. I want to give something back to them such as help for their house so it wont keep making them sick, or a vacation/honeymoon they never had. I dont have the finances to do it, and I want to ask if someone could help me. I'm not sure who. I thought of everything from Charities to Tv shows to Oprah, but I'm not sure that's viable.

Do you have any directions or ideas? I'm sure I could write to Oprah anyway, but the help needs to go to those who need it most, first. So I just want to direct this appropriately.

Answer 1

Your heart is in the right place. As a parent of three, I can advise you that he best thing you can do for your folks is to tell them how much you appreciate them, spend time with them, and make them proud of you.

Answer 2

There is a church where I live that helps out with homes, food, clothing etc. Try some of the larger churches in your area see if any of them have groups like that.
