  • Fighting the good fight, against corporate greed.

    "I spent the money to get three more hours of speech therapy for my son who has autism, since my insurance company refuses to pay for it. Every little bit counts for him.

  • Gave it away to someone in need...

    "A co-worker whos's a single mom got her car repossessed during work yesterday. Today I gave her $500 to help her get it back. I was going to use it to pay off the Las Vegas trip I just took, but my boyfriend won some money and took care of most of the cost. It felt good to give it away. "
