i already heave karmin's brokenhearted. i thought you were there when i bought it.

so i've got maybe $1500 for charities. these are the charities i've worked with in the past that i think are deserving and as far as i can tell, they are seriously barebones, though i'd be welcome to new ideas.

DC Books to Prisons - this is the most low-budget charity ever. books are all donations. i think they're housed for free in a church. we use paper bags from trader joe's as wrapping paper and honestly, the woman in charge was showing us how to use as little tape as possible while maintaining package security. i really admired their stinginess.

The Employment Justice Center

Carpenter's Shelter

So what does this say about me? are prisoner reading material, ending human trafficking, employment justice and ending homelessness the most important causes that i could support in 2012?
