I mean, how amazing would that be? Umm, lots. Lots of amazing. Giving money to a charity a lot of times is just a temporary solution to the real problem of poverty. It's like giving a man a fish instead of teaching him to fish. A lot of times, people throw money at poverty and expect it to go away. All it does is make them feel a little better for being "charitable". But it's not a sustainable solution. Not that just giving money is wrong or that we shouldn't. But the ultimate goal should be to help fix the causes of poverty, not just the effects. No question, you should do it. I mean, how amazing would that be? Umm, lots. Lots of amazing.
