Make a Wish Foundation
Help grant a wish to a child with a life threatening illness =) The great thing about this foundation is that it has international affiliates, and when you choose to make a donation, you may choose which country affiliate you may want to donate to. I know that many Blythe collectors may want to choose to donate their money and make a difference in their own communities directly.
