on the donation front i think alot of people under estimate what they can give. for instance if you were to cut out ordering out pizza one day this week a person could donate $10, or cut out extra truips around town it's not hard to burn $10 woth of gas. skip buying a cd or video game this week. $10 doesnt seem like alot but if everyone did im not sure how many people are in the country but that would add up pretty quick, and it's not like you'd be worse off for skipping a cd, pizza or car trip.
