Start Something That Matters

     From the stories of winner hyperlink, my favorite was actually the winner of the $50,000 grant. Just a young kid with the dream of helping people; he created a way for the people who need water in Chile to receive it. By trailing a pipe line over hill, trees, forests and so on, he was able to connect a water source to those who are very distant from it. I liked this topic because there are so many people in poverty who have so little, but he dropped everything he had in the United States to help people that he didn't even know.
     With the The Do Good Fund hyperlink, I watched They Gave A Homeless Man A Pizza... It made me pretty emotional. I have a soft heart in general, but I major soft spot for homeless people. In the video I watched, this man walked around the city and asked 3 different people for a slice of their pizza when they had two additional pieces available. Each person he asked said no. After the experiment, one of the other guys bought a pizza and gave it to a homeless man. When the original guy walked up to the homeless man, he asked the man for a piece of pizza. The homeless man said yes. 1/4 of the people the guy asked said yes; and it was a homeless man; someone with nothing and he gave up the only food he had. That shows you where humanity is going.
    

If you did not have to worry about money, what would you do with your time?

      I would definitely not be hesitant to give or lend people money. It makes them feel good to receive money and when I make someone feel good, it makes me feel good.

What kind of work would you want to do?

     I would want to help mothers with children who are in need or single parents in general because I know how hard it is to make ends meat and deal with other struggles of the world first hand.

What cause would you serve

      Homeless shelters and/or safe houses because they need someone, not just money.
