What to do with your spare change

Hi All.

Hope your week is going well. I am, as of right now, under-caffeinated and slightly grumpy.

I have a pedicure in about an hour, as my mother feels this will solve my wierdo depression that has taken over my life the past few days. I think my way of fighting depression might be a little more useful. And a lot less self-serving?

I've made two donations in the past 6 months. I don't have much to give, but all of the few extra dollars I can dig up and give to these guys goes directly to the person who needs it. No joke. 100% of the donation goes to the person requesting the loan. What's really great - especially for those of us that are young and decidedly not rich - is if you only have 25 bucks to give, that's all you need to give. A group of lenders can all chip in and donate what they can, so that one person across the world gets what they need to dig themselves out of the hole they've found themselves, and their families, in.

C'mon, all. Check out the banner at the bottom of this page and chip in. Let's see where we can take this woman.
