Should We Start a Foundation or Charity?

Question by Ali: Should we start a foundation or charity?
Last October my mom passed away from having a drug addiction to prescriptions. So my friend came up with this idea that we start a foundation for my mom, and to help other addicts. Also, to help save lives, and help others not loose their loved ones like I did.

But as I started researching I kind of got confused on what exactly a foundation and what exactly a charity is.. so could someone explain it better to me please?

What Are Nerve Pills and Should They Really Be Taken in This Situation?

Question by joyce: What are nerve pills and should they really be taken in this situation?
My best friend is a single mom with a very difficult to deal with 4 year old little boy. He has behavior problems and doesn’t listen to her commands. She is very stressed out from dealing with him because the father is not in the picture, her family is 8 hours away and she is raising him all alone.
She works at a job dealing with special needs teenagers that can become physically violent at any moment. She says that the stresses of her job and then having to come home late in the evenings and deal with her son are starting to effect her health.
She says her memory is starting to go and her hair is starting to fall out. She plans on going to the doctor and asking for a prescription for nerve pills to deal with her problems. Are drugs really the solution here?
I am concerned about her but am not really able to help much because she lives in Maryland and I am way up in Michigan. Should she really be taking nerve pills to deal with her everyday life?
