Which charities did Michael support?

[xo_lola_xo]

Hey guys. :flowers:

My 16th birthday is coming up (January LOL) and I usually start planning four or five months before it and I usually throw large parties but I wanna do something different this time.

This is really the worst time of my life and I'm nowhere near over grieving about Michael so I want to do something to make him proud and use "Man in the mirror" as an inspiration. I want to donate money to some charities Michael supported.

I'm aware he supported 38/39 (am I right?). However, I don't know which ones. Can you please tell me some of them and tell me a little bit about them to help me choose?

Thank you. :flowers:

P.S. I know the mods are having a hard time so I hope I posted this in the right section.

There are so so many...you can check the Mr.Jackson Charity Thread on MJJ Community.

Mr.Jackson would be very proud of ANY type of help you could offer...whether it be a donation, volunteer, tutoring, or helping another across the street...

If there is just "one" person that you help;

You are helping to make the world a better place and definately making a difference in someone elses life..!

WE are on a mission...Because of World Conditions

:angel:Keep Helping To Heal The World...WE are the World...Education IS The Key~~~

that's a great thing to do, you should be proud of yourself. also i think this is a great thing for anyone to do at christmas, instead of buying people a load of stuff they don't need, give to charity on their behalf instead i especially like oxfam, you can buy books, vaccines, animals etc for people in developing countries.
anyway to be on topic, it says in the guinness book of records all the charities michael supports, can't name them off the top of my head though lol too many.

Heal The World Foundation! That's the one Michael founded. It's a great charity and whenever I can, I donate money to them.

From what I was reading yesterday, that charity stopped existing in 2003 or 2005. The one that exists now (called Heal the World, and which claims Michael as the founder) would aparently have nothing to do with him...
