$10, $15, $25, $50 – It makes a difference

Posted on April 7, 2008 - Filed Under Blogher, Community Chest, Daily Dose, Health and Wellness | 4 Comments

Over the weekend, I bought a domain name for $10. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do with it yet.

$10 covers the costs of a clinic in Nepal for two days. 2 days.

This morning, we spent $15 at Starbucks. We bought 2 Quad Grande Non-Fat Caramel Macchiatos and 1 Triple Grande Cinnamon Dulce w/whip.

$15 also buys lunch for 50 girls in a West African village

$15 can fund healthcare for medicine for 100 refugees in Darfur

We need to fill up the gas tank today, which will cost about $25.

$25 also aids 20 Afghanistan women with reproductive health care and education

I was thinking about dinner at Satchel’s which costs about $50.

$50 will provide AIDS counseling for 2 women in South Africa.

My money can make a difference – so can yours.
