The ways I show love and walk humbly in my life with God is that I go to church every Sunday and I help teach Pre-K in faith formation. I help teach the Pre-K class about God. I also pray every night before I go to bed saying a prayer. I normally pray about the people in my family and that I learn more about God and be more holy.

A good example of a charitable organization in Hillsborough County is the Ronald McDonald House Charity. Ronald McDonald House charities mission is to create, find, and support programs that improve the health of children. They are providing charity by helping children with their health. If you have bad health and can't really afford it can be because of that family is in poverty. If not and they are having health problems that can lead to poverty due to a lot of money to heal them and if they get older and have same health problems people might not want to give them a job if most of the time they will be sick.
