That's a great concept, kerj! Thanks for sharing it here. I like to support things like that when I can. $25 can definitely make a difference to anyone in a crisis - even if it doesn't totally repair a broken life, it can help ease suffering; and in some cases save a life. It's a lot more money in many other places than it is here.

It's your nickle.
If I felt benevolent, I would ask myself can I feel benevolent? Then I'd have a wake up call and say no.

Ahhh, brilliant kerj2leev, it's so cool to know that people like you get involved when they have a way to make a difference!
btw, would you be willing to share what mini business ventures you're sponsoring and where?? I'd be interested! Have you gotten to e-mail them direct?
I have to set up a paypal account one of these days so I can do the online donations!!
btw, if you haven't heard of it, Oxfam,,,www.oxfam.com, do sort of similar helping people help themselves! -

Here are the 2 people I've loaned money too so far. I like the fact that it isn't a gift but a loan that the person has to pay back. When I get it back I will just recycle it into other businesses!
