I am not going to give to any huge organization...just going to take care of people in my very own backyard like the neighbor gal who just lost her husband in Iraq and has a kid heading to college this fall and will need financial help. I will also give and volunteer at my local meals on wheels which is a great way to directly help people without a lot of money being skimmed off by corrupt thieves. If everyone looked after those in their backyard, the world would be covered.
