The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network
Many women don't know that one in four American women will be abused in her lifetime. That's TERRIBLE. Organizations like The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, the "nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization, works hard to bring awareness and prevent violence against women. RAINN operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1.800.656.HOPE and publicizes the hotline's free, confidential services. RAINN also improves services to victims and ensures that rapists are brought to justice."

Operation Smile
Operation Smile knows that our face is the first thing we present to the world, and many children around the world suffer from facial deformities that affect their entire lives. That's why they mobilize a force of medical professionals and caring hearts to provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. "Today, more than 140,000 girls and boys have a new chance at a new life" because of their work. Doesn't that make you smile?

Doctors Without Borders is a Nobel Peace Prize-winning humanitarian organization that provides help in nearly 60 countries to "people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe, primarily due to armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, exclusion from health care, or natural disasters." These doctors are doing far more than Botox injections, and they need your help.
