I did.

Thought provoking.

I find I give to people who have been subjected to natural disasters, i.e. the tsunami from a few years back, the earthquake in China, things like that where they need help just getting the basics of life for awhile. I also like giving to animal rescue. This economy is a natural disaster to my way of thinking and I wish I had the funds to help a few of the people who have ended up without jobs and unable to support themselves and/or their family. A lot of people don't make enough money to more than live hand to mouth and then they lose their employment, they're on the streets. I feel so sorry for all those caught up in this bad time.
