One year I gave $250 to an organization that does surgeries on babies with cleft palate. The group's materials said this was the amount one surgery cost. I felt so, so good that I changed one person's life -- permanently! I live very simply on a small income. My husband and I drive ancient vehicles and live in a home that resembles a chicken coop from the outside. That was the most I have ever given to one group, and at the time I felt compelled to do it, even though it was a lot of money for me.
The afterglow has lasted for years. Giving big -- whatever that means of each of us -- is so rewarding!
