Portland woman wonders if giving away $100 a day

[DiverDave]

can change lives, and changes her own.



Sept. 20: Can $100 change a life? For the recipient? The giver? Every day for a month, I’m going to give $100 to a stranger I encounter during the course of my routine. — Jill Ginsberg, on her blog

4. K&R for real help.

Now, we just need some of the really rich to get on this bandwagon. Hire a bunch of "philanthropist agents" to give out significant cash awards.

$100 can make a temporary difference for millions of people, $1000 sell-placed can change a life forever.

5. But 100 to someone that has next to nothing?

Is a gift from heaven.
I agree that 1000 would change alot more tho.
