YOU are the WINNER of $10,000 dollars…..

YOU are the winner of $10,000 dollars!!!!!  But there is a CATCH!  You have to give this money to your favorite CHARITY.  That’s correct…YOU have to spend it ALL on someone else!  Answer this in two ways: FIRST–WHO do you decide to DONATE this money to?  SECONDLY:  WHY do you want to help this group of people?????  Be descriptive and specific..tell us why……

  1. I would donate the money to the Red Cross Foundation. I would help these people because every time there is a disaster, they are always there contributing. Also, I would think that most of the money would go to the people in need and not the foundation itself.

    • Thanks Chad for being the FIRST student to post this week! I think it’s a great idea to think of the Red Cross to donate your money to. Afterall, they are always there to assist families in need when there is a disaster, so they could really use the money to help these families.

      • Chad,
        That is a wonderful idea! They seem to always be the first on the scene when there is a disaster.

  2. i would donate the money to the cancer research society because i really want them to find a cure for cancer i think its so sad that people lose their family members over this thats where i would donate my money to

    • Natassia,
      It is sad that many lose their lives to cancer. Maybe they will find a cure one day. What happen to your punctuation and capitilization?

  3. I would give my 10,000 thousand dollars to the(bbbs)Big brother Big sister charity beause it would be great to have more mature male/female figures.Iould also provide shelter for the boys and grils that are homeless.

    -:)

    • Paige, the Big Bro/Big Sister program sounds like a great way to help someone when donating money. It is very important for boys and girls to have someone “positive” to look up to and spend time with in their lives. This program has been an aid to many youths in the United States over the years. Good choice!

      Mrs. Cheffen~

    • Paige,
      There are so many girls and boys that are homeless. It is sad to hear of the number of young people that need homes. Thankfully, there are people who love them and want to help take care of them.

  4. I would donate my money to The Hope House. It shelters Abused women and children, and I think everybody deserves another chance so it works hand in hand.

  5. I would donate to the Boys and Girls Club of America. I think important to help the future kids and teens of America and get them off the streets. Also this charity doesn’t just specialize on one things when there’ so many problems. They help education environment, career, health, alcohol/drug prevention, pregnancy prevention, gang prevention, and leadership development. These are important matters and i would be glad to help.

  6. I would give my 10,000 dollars to the toys for tots association because kids sometimes at 5 don’t have any toys. Also when it comes christmas that don’t have a family to give them their toys.

    • Devon,
      MMS just participated in The Toys for Tots. I wonder how we did. You are right in saying that some kids don’t have toys and they don’t have a family. That’s nice of you to think of the kids who don’t have families.

  7. I would donate my money to American Breast Cancer Foundation.I want them be able help anybody in need of there help.I think everyone deservers a fighting chance.

  8. I would donate my money to st jude because i will want to help them find the cure for cancer. If they find this cure they can save millions of lives

  9. I would donate my money to the boys and girs club. Because I went to won in the summer and I thot thay need more stuff.because it look like a tornado hit

  10. I would give my money to St. Judes Children’s Hospital because I want to help the children who are very sick but don’t have money to get the treatment & to let those kids know that somebody is thinking about them and they don’t have to worry anymore. 🙂

  11. I WOULD GIVE THE MONEY TO ST. JUDES HOSPITAL BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN. THEY DESERVE ALOT. I SAY THEY NEED THE MONEY MORE THAN I DO. DONATING MONEY TO THE HOSPITAL WOULD BE A GREAT THING TO DO FOR THOSE KIDS IN NEED.

    • Great response Keara! I am so proud that you think the “children” deserve the money more than you do. Hmmm…maybe one day you could visit St. Jude’s to brighten some of their patients’ day?!

      Mrs. Cheffen~

  12. if i were to win $10,000 i would donate it to a homeless shelter so they could use to buy food and also add on to the building to house more people

  13. I would give my 10,000 dollars to st. Judes childrens hospitalbecause those are really the kids who need help because most of the kids that are in that hospital have cancer. some people say that there is a cure for cancer and somw people say there is not but nobody really knows but i need to just say that some people in this world are thinking about those kids in st. Judes children hospital

  14. If i were to win $10,000, I would donate the money to The Rafiki Foundation. This foundation helps orphans and widows in Africa to get a better education. I think the $10,000 donated to the foundation would the children and widows that want to have an education. The Rafiki Foundation also house the orphans and widows. The money that I would donate to them would give them food, water, a new playground and medical help. This foundation is just like a school, but it is also a home for many Africans in need of an education.

  15. If I were to donate $10,000, I would donate the money to the Rafiki Foundation. This foundation helps children and widows that want a better education and also houses the orphans and widows. The money that I would donate would help them with food, water, a new playground,and buy them new Bibles for Bible study. This foundation is not just for helping Africans, but it gives them a home to live in.

    • Armaiya, this sounds like a wonderful opportunity to make sure your money counts in a very positive way! Keep me posted on the Rafiki Foundation and its success….I would love to know more about it!

      Mrs. Cheffen~

  16. I would give my money to the research for the cure for alzhiemers. i would give this foundation money because many people have lost family members to this diseases.

    • Cornequa, yes a lot of families have and are dealing with the loss of their loved ones to Alzheimers disease. Your decision to donate to this charity would benefit many people that are in search of a cure.

      Mrs. Cheffen~

  17. If I had to give my 10,000 dollars away i would give it to breast cancer association because everyone deserves to live and wherater or not we help them is up to us….thats why we should give when we can…one life ..one chance….it only takes one person to make a difference and that difference could become big!!!!!

    • Brittney, sounds like you are all for everyone having the chance to enjoy life! One person CAN make a difference and all it takes is this one person to influence hundreds, even thousands! We must understand also that change begins with US…..great response Brittney!

      Mrs. Cheffen~

  18. i would donate my money for a cure for diabetes organization because i know some people who are struggling with their diet for certain foods they can or cannot take in because of how their body regulates differently than most

    • Sonya,
      Diabetes is a disease that’s affecting many people. I too know people who have diabetes and struggle with the different types of foods they should have. That is a good idea to give to that organization.

  19. The charity i would give it to is The Human Rights Watch. This group is a charity and an acting watch group. They will help make sure all our laws are applied evenly throughout all citizens. This group of people help fight for our needs and rights they believe everyone has equal rights and that everyone should be-able to fight no matter what race or gender!! ; )

  20. I would give my money to St.Judes hospital so that the kids who have cancer or any bad health problem they would have enough money to get the medical help they need so they can go back home to there familys much better to have a better quality of life.

  21. I would donate my money to the The Brain Injury Association of Georgia. i would donate my money their because someone in my family has a brain injury and I want them to get better and to be back in my life.

    • Roy this sounds like an interesting way to donate your $10,000 to charity. However, I am so sorry to hear that someone in your own family has suffered from a brain injury. I truly hope there is financial support out there to help this cause so your family member will recover soon.

      Mrs. Cheffen~

  22. I don’t think I could give all my money to just one charity. Therefor i would split it up 3 ways n give it to St. Jude a canser research group n the little people in Africa that dnt have any food,because i get sad when they come on t.v n thoes people be askin families 2 donate 19 cent a day so their able to eat.

  23. I would donate my money to the homeless shelter. I believe these people are just like us but are less fortunate. I would give them this money to improve the food they give the people. Also, improve the clothes they give them. This money would also go towards them building a hotel for homeless people to stay at.

  24. I would like to donate my money to the St Jude Children’s Research hospital in Memphis, TN.It was really sad seeing all of those sick children with cancer and how they are really suffering on the inside and still try their best to be happy.I pray one day that a cure for cancer will be found.

  25. if i had won 10,000 i would donate the money to the cancer foundation. i would do that because my uncle die of cancer and he was like my 2nd father. So that who i would donate the money too.

  26. i would give the money to a place where they donate organs. The rezon I would do that my mom need kidnes.
    and there.a lot of ather people too..

  27. If I had to donate 10,000 dollars to a charity of my choice it would a Haiti relief fund. because Haiti is one of the poorest third world countries ever. but one though what the point of me winning 10,000 dollars if I can’t keep any of the money?

  28. I think i would give all my money to the homeless shelter those people really need help and it is sad going to atlanta seeing peole on the sidewalk asking you for money and all you can give them is a dollar. so this is my choice of a donation.

  29. i would give the money to a kids hospitel the reson why is because a kids hospitel needs the money to help the kids

  30. i would give the money to st.judes hospital of kids beecause i feel how they are with different types of cancers and things .if i did have 10 thousands dollars thats were i would donate it to because so that they can find a cure for most of those kids .it would be helpful to give them all that money just to a nice person.

  31. I would donate to the Humane Society. The reason why is because I love animals and I feel as if they don’t get the respect they deserve.

  32. I would give the money to the American Red Cross. I would want the money to go towards repairing the city of New Orleans. The money would go towards repairing schools and homes that were damaged in hurricane Katrina. I would also like some of the money to go towards building playgrounds for kids.

  33. i would donate my money 2 to the open hand charity. i say this because the open hand charity already helps the elderly that a ill or unable 2 do things for themselves but i feel that if i donate my money then they would be able 2 help more people:)

  34. I would donate all the money to a Cancer foundation , because everyone deserves a second chance in life and shouldn’t have to hear they don’t have long to live ; also i believe that they can find a cure and help stop people from suffering and pan. The $10,000 can do a lot to help many people dieing from this disease.

  35. If I had $10,000 dollars I would give the money to the American Red Cross. I would donate the money so that they could help rebuild the damage done to New Orleans caused by hurricane Katrina. They could rebuild schools, playgrounds and homes. That would help a lot of people in the city of New Orleans.

  36. I would donate my winnings to Habitat For Humanity Surplus,because there are milions of people without homes and no means to get them. Habitat For Humanity is great about helping people with little or no income to purchace homes or pay mortgages as well as people who have lost there homes through disasters.So I think it would be great to provide them with more funds so they can continue to expand.

  37. I would spend the money on Hosea feed the hungry.. because since the organization is run by my family i would love to be able to help the family and the needy out ! i would do this because the needy have a special part in my heart ! because i have seen first hand how it feel ands how it is to live with out money ~!

  38. I would spend the money on Hosea feed the hungry.. because since the organization is run by my family i would love to be able to help the family and the needy out ! i would do this because the needy have a special part in my heart ! because i have seen first hand how it feel and how it is to live with out money ~!

  39. i would spend the money on Hosea feed the hungry, because they are a great organization who really cares a lot about peoples feelings. In the bible it says to treat people the way you would like to be treated. so, i would not want to be stranded out side in the cold all day an night without at least food, so i would love to offer food to any other person in need….. good job Hosea, and keep it up!!!

  40. i would give 10,000 dollars to haiti cause they suffered from something that is so horrible and most of the people dont hardly have food/shelter they are just now trying there best to get back on there feet……

  41. I would lke to help the homeless people. i would help the homeless people because i hate to see them in the streets or on the highway laying down because they dont have no shelter. If i had my own place i would open my house up for people and help them find a home of there own. Obivously other people are not helping so ima do there job by helping them out.

  42. if i won 10,000 dollars i would give it to red cross foundation cause they do so muchfor people like us today

  43. i would donate this money for cancer foundation or cures for cancer.. and i would do this because my mother has cancer and i would love to help any foundation that helps my mom become stronger every day and thats keepin her in their prayers

  44. If i had to give my money away to charity , i would give it away to an orphanage . The reason i would choose to do so is because they are way less fourtanate than I am . They dont even know their parents and they suffer everyday from knowing who there parents are and where they’re at . They probally will never get to expirience the way i will and probally already have . So this is why i chose orphanage .
