This is one of the greatest causes I've ever been involved with. They train volunteers to visit children with cancer or other life threatening illnesses and "reward" them with glass beads, that are made by US glass beadmakers and donated to Beads of Courage, for milestones in their chemotherapy or other treatment as a reward for enduring as much as they have. I'll paste their actual description below. Help with a yes vote if you can. Unless you would prefer to not help terminally ill children.
