Chesed - (Means kindness in Hebrew) Love is patient, Love is kind... I believe strongly that charity is one of the most important factors in holding the fabric of society together. Charity shows others that you care and it represents kindness and love. This section of my site will feature 2 new charities each month and will keep you posted on the fundraisers, charity events and foundations I am involved with. You may post your favorite charity on the site and in time, we will make available more contacts for people who are interested in doing charity work or starting their own charity. I really want this section to grow and I hope it serves as a ripple of chesed, kindness around the globe.

King foundation is all heart

 Larry King holds son Chance as he talks with Donny Osmond. |
When Larry King underwent successful quintuple bypass surgery 12 years ago, it was just the beginning of some profound changes in his life. He quit smoking, adopted a low-fat diet, and embraced a regimen of regular exercise that helps keep him trim and healthy today.
But when he saw the $65,000 tab for his operation, he realized he could change the lives of others as well.
King reasoned that many people simply couldn’t foot the bill for such a costly procedure. So he founded the Larry King Cardiac Foundation whose primary mission is to provide life-saving heart operations to people who can’t afford the medical expenses. USA Today
