    ...my late husband and I did do something similar to this once, many years ago...he had been laid off work and we were literally down to our last $100...and, yes, I would still do it again

    I only had 100 dollars in my entire life? no other money on a credit card or in the bank ,wow! I would think if all i had was 100 dollars that they need to send me some help for a disaster because im definitely in one.

    No I dont think I would use it for a charity, I would use it to feed me and other homeless people if I had any money before I got to a homeless shelter I would donate it probably yes.

    Thanks for warning me about Tara W.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If that was all the money I had I would keep it for myself. I am a very big believer in charity but you do have to make sure your needs are taken care of as well. A wise decision might be to keep the money and see if there is some sort of paid position available in the charitys organization so you can help be part of a good cause while taking care of your individual needs.

    You got it Mike. The 2.5 percent.

    Anyway, I may donate a portion but if that's all the money I had, I would probably see if there's some other way to help than donations. Example, probably the donations that went to the New Orleans disaster relief. One could have put some energy into that endeavor rather than give his last hundred bucks. My opinion.

    I would perhaps donate $10.00 as you have said I only have $100.00, and it would depend on the disaster also, as I have been stung before...

    Beware of certain mobs who collect money for this type of thing as sometimes only a small amount of the money goes to the actual charity/ disaster...

    These people are so bad that they pay themselves huge wages and the poor they are supposed to be collecting for only get a small %...

    I would help the best I could in the given circumstance...

    Blessed Be... )O(

    I would not give the whole $100.00 because then I would also be a needy person. I would give what I could of the money and offer any services that I could to help them out. Sorry about tara w some people lack judgement in their personal lifes.

    Yes I would donate. Because God has always provided for me, I have never been left wanting. The disaster in New Orleans was horrible! As long as I have shelter, and food, clothing, then how can I deny another?

    i in my opinion am a disaster so each payday is like donating to a disaster relief fund. regularly I do community relief fund issues like nutrients drives and heating tips. around right here our failures are concerning ice storms and spring flooding. maximum at present have donated to fundraising activities for Autism and different particular needs classes.

    If I only had 100 dollars, then I would need that myself to support my two children and the one that's on the way. I would however donate clothing that we don't wear anymore. I know this sounds selfish, but you asked for an honest answer, I gave you one.

Under the right circumstances i just might drop the whole wad if i were, unemployed, far away in a foriegn country, been wandering for a while, wasn't sure where i would sleep, but if there was a pretty girl with me i'd drop it in the bucket and stay at her place.

    *shrug* this is when it gets tough!...being a single mother and supporting my own my family I would say half of it, because I have to take care of myself and my own as well. I'll tell you what, the reason I am learning other languages (5 and in counting) is because I plan to help third world countries, I want to be part of the UNICEF program.
