How do I fix my snowglobes?

As I have a collection of snowglobes, and some of them have broken globes,broken off pecies. Also some of my snowglobes are old and the water is starting to go down, in them, or they had a leak and all the water is gone. I really enjoy my collection. I have snow globes from my friends and family going on trips to place I will never be able to unless I win the lottery. I also have snowglobes from gifts. I really would like to learn how to fix them so that I will have them to enjoy, as well as keeping in good shape so that my grand children may enjoy them after I'm gone. So if there is anyone out there that is able to help me fix and take care of my beautiful snowglobes. I would go the direction of having a real globe repair person do this for me but that is not possiable due to very little money a month to live on. With that being said, I'm sorry I don't mean to ask for free info but that is all I can do. Thank you in advance for the help you may send me.

The Question of how do I fix my SNOW GLOBES ! has a thousand diferent answers and can't be answered by typing any and all here but I can direct you to the answers . If you ask them one by one in an "E" mail to ( Jim ) at Jim's Snow Globe Repairs or phone him at 902 443 3788 . This is a FREE service he offers but if your repair can't be done with simple
tools or the job is bigger than the capable hands of the caller.
You will be advised to take it to a repair shop. Dealing with broken glass is dangerious and we can't take the risk that you will be hurt .Search with Google for Jim's Snow Globe Repairs
and click on Canada . or Jim's or Snow Globe Repairs .

Add 2 drops of bleach or sterilising fluid to the water to prevent algae growth.

From what I remember from my childhood, most snowglobes have a small cap in the base, just like a water-pistol, so you can add water.
Any cracks can be repaired with a small amount of clear silicon sealant, like the stuff around your bath. Buy at B&Q or Home Depot.
If you need to add extra snow I would imagine that flitter would do. Flitter is just like glitter, only with slightly larger particles. You can get hold of that at a craft shop, though in a pinch you could probably use a shredded white plastic bag.
