Choose some people to support. for example, homeless people, poor children and so on. All of these are suitable(合适的).
Decide what you are able to give. Yes! Sometimes it isn’t only money—you can donate your time as a volunteer, you can donate your knowledge teaching poor children, you can donate your old clothes, you can donate food or you can share a meal with a hungry child.
