[quote:Switchblade:MV8yMjA2MDEyXzM3MzQ3MTQ1XzQwQ0ZGNjQ4] I prefer to donate to my local shelters and food banks. People learn very little from money being handed to them, I'm sorry to say this but if $10,000.00 would change your life, $10,000.00 would change the lives of many if properly distributed. To me it seems that making a "Donation" of that size to an individual cause would do nothing but enable the actions that caused the lack of money in the first place. However, I am not what most people would call, wealthy. but I live well and try to help those around me that can not help themselves with what I have left. but I worked and Starved for what I have now, and have even spent time living on the street to get where I am. I do nkow how you feel though, at least to some degree. I remember (not all that fondly) thinking how $5 could completely change my life. [/quote]

You know what I don't understand.. How rich people, wealthy people, can sit by while good hard working honest people struggle, and children starve. I was doing some math the other day... $10,000 could completely alter mine and my child's whole reality and start a fantastic life for us. Meanwhile, some people could give that amount away and not even notice it was gone!! That's insane to me.... It just blows my mind... People shouldn't have to ask for it either, wealthy people should WANT to help their fellow Americans when they are in-need. The GOOD ones anyways..... 2cents...
