Knitting/Crochet Charities *corrected links

DO YOU KNOW OF A CHARITY THAT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP AND FEEL WE NEED TO ADD THE LINK TO OUR LIST OF PLACES PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE FROM TO HELP?  

FOR THOSE NOT IN NORTH AMERICA- DO YOU HAVE INTERNATIONAL CHARITIES IN YOUR AREA THAT COULD BE ADDED TO THIS LIST.

OUR GROUP HAS MEMBERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND I WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE THIS LIST IN A DIFFERENT WAY BESIDES JUST KNITTING OR CROCHETING CHARITIES BUT IN REGIONAL LOCATIONS FOR MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO CLICK ON SITES THAT WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO THEM.

PLEASE NOTE THE GROUP WITH LINKS TO BE ADDED: I LOOK FORWARD TO NOTES

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

Note that most of the charities listed accept knitted or crocheted things, and some accept sewn or other media as well. The list of charities is organized by what you make, and I'll add anything you suggest that's knitting/crochet related!
