If only someone had some extra money, you know like more than they need, more than they could spend in several lifetimes...

Or many someones has just a little bit of money they can spare. One Starbucks coffee/month given up and sent to a charity that does such aid makes a big difference when thousands of people do it. I don't drink coffee, but I decided a while back that this was important to me so I found a charity that gives aid and started regular monthly donations. (plus I'm lucky enough to get a company match for my donations).
