Do you wish you could make a big difference to other people’s lives? Well, it doesn’t have to be difficult. There are many ways you can transform the daily lives of people in your community or across the globe. Find out how to make a difference.
Give Blood
Are you aged between 17 to 65 years old? If so, you should give blood. All you need to do is find a local blood donor center, see if you are eligible to donate, and make an appointment. Giving a pint of blood will take ten minutes out of your day, but the benefits could last a lifetime for those in urgent need of your blood type. Before you do so, though, ensure you a fit and healthy, and are wary of your health at the time of donation.
Donate Your Platelets
If you have a little more time to spare and have healthy veins, you could also donate your blood platelets, which are often required for individuals who are undergoing chemotherapy or an organ transplant, or for those who are living with a blood disorder or have experienced a life-threatening bleed following surgery. The process takes approximately 90 minutes to complete and will filter your blood through a cell separator to remove the platelets and return the blood to your body. You can also donate your platelets up to 13 times per year.
Make a Charitable Donation
Making a charitable donation can make a significant difference to the lives of many people. For example, you can support top cancer charities to fund essential research and improve care, which can transform the lives of adults and children across the globe. After all, cancer touches the lives of many families across the globe, as there were an estimated 1,685,210 new cases in the United States alone in 2016.
Register as an Organ Donor
Registering as an organ donor takes only a few minutes out of your day, but can change the lives of many people. Sign the organ donor register and inform your loved ones about your intentions, so they will respect your wishes once you pass away. You can also choose the organs you are happy to give to others, which can extend the lives of more than one person. To do so, register with your state’s Organ Donor Registry, simply select ‘Yes” when applying for a driver’s license or sign a donor card, which you should keep in your purse or wallet.
Vote
If you want to make a difference to the lives of others, you must use your vote. Whether you are male or female, young or old, voting gives you a voice in society. So, don’t sit quietly and wait for the wrong decision. One small vote can make a big difference to an election campaign, which will ensure the right candidate wins so that they will have a positive impact on society.

There are artists that exactly repeat their albums when they perform live, those that sound nothing like it without a sound engineer, and those that transcend recordings of their work when you experience their vitality in person. Langhorne Slim is definitely the third. Don’t get me wrong, he is in all of my playlists and his most recent cd, 
The experience was enhanced by the atmosphere at McCabe’s. Wood paneled walls covered in every type of strummable guitar, ukulele, banjo, and more that I don’t have names for, come together to create a world transported back and steeped in history. With tickets running between $20-$30 and affordable afternoon shows for families as well as their night time events McCabe’s Guitar Shop offers a taste of the now while surrounded by the history of the music played there. Come during the day or slip in at night for a show, either way visitors can feel the notes that have sunk into the walls as greats play skillful chords, and newbies their first notes.
