i would bulldoze down my parents crappy little house and build them a comfortable, beautiful home... give my dad a workshop in the back yard.
i'd get my niece a good T.. to make up for the baboons who are raising her now.
animals shelters - definitely!
programs for women who are like i was... who needed some kind of intermediate bridge to a better life.. the current systems are geared towards physical violence and crisis.. everyone else has to sink or swim
i would create free spay and neuter clinics for low income family pets... and same for feral animals
i'd lobby to have the laws changed to more seriously punish animal abusers - dont even get me started
publicity campaign for better public transit systems... hey north america - ever hear of the train? check out europe's system
i'd pay off my student loans
i'd buy the best scanner/copier that money can buy and send a beautiful picture of my butt (signed and kiss printed) to all the jerks who tried to tell me i couldn't make it
