Seldom does the opportunity to impact a person in need come along. You always see things on tv that tell you that just $.56 per day will feed a villiage of african babies. but who really cares about african babies? no..REALLY.

Suppose you could contribute ...i dunno....say $50 or so and it really made a big difference in someone's daily life......

who benefits more? you or the person you've given to?

Most of our charity is anonymous, or non essential.... like....if you had not happened to give, the outcome would be unchanged.....

When you can give somthing that might pinch you a little, but has a huge positive impact on the recipient...I say it is more for your benefit than for that of the recipient. You get to enjoy the feeling of magnanamism. You get to be a provider. You get to feel like your effort made a difference in someone's life.

Keep your eyes open for opportunities like these. they are relatiely rare.
