Maybe you like helping Family Support Services with some of their projects. It really doesn't matter. Pick a non profit here in the Amarillo area. Get involved. You will feel better and that will help with your happiness and your help.

Maybe you don't have the time to spend on volunteering. Don't worry. Not all hope is lost. You can get that same feeling by donating. It can be money if you can.
