Youthbuild is an organization that is deserving of help. Senator Kristen Gillibrand has sent a letter throughout the Senate that may help increase government funds that go to Youthbuild. There was a cut in funds in 2011, which resulted in 50 Youthbuild programs to close in the United States. You can call, email, or write a letter to your member of Congress to urge them to support maximum government funding for Youthbuild. There is a sample letter at the bottom of the page of this link https://www.youthbuild.org/get-involved/take-action?vvsrc=%2fCampaigns You can send this email directly to your local members of congress. Many who do not have access to proper education live in poverty. Try to go for a day living off of only $2.00 or less. Do not buy anything new, and ride your bike or walk everywhere since gas costs money. The only thing you should spend money on is food. If you are eating 3 meals, each meal should be about $0.67. If you choose to eat two meals, each meal should be $1.00. For every dollar that you go over the limit, donate that amount of money to charity. Every time you catch yourself doing something that requires a proper education, such as doing advanced math or reading something difficult, donate a dollar.
