You're not allowed to spend this money on yourself or any of your relatives.

Who would you give this money to? Would you distribute it amongst different people, charities, etc.?

Are you sure I can't use it to pay off most of my medical debt? Because that's what I would do if I could keep it.

A 10k donation ain't much, but it will go to the blind. How about a mill? Or 10?.

Probably to various animal charities. There's quite a few.

My business. It's not for me and it's important.

I need just enough money to live. I'm not there yet, me being me.

I'm with Elsa there's a charity I already know of called mercies door. It's a foster care home. I'd donate to them. Those kids need all the support they can get

I'd donate to local animal shelters or to the state foster care system. Maybe split it up.

I think it would be awesome to just see people in my community in need and start spreading the wealth personally. I'd love to leave a $100 tip at dinner when I see someone working really hard. I'd love to read a story on a local FB page about someone who's finally transitioning out of homelessness who needs a washer/dryer to help them stay employed/housed and get it for them. I'd love to buy a massage and night out for a neighbor around the corner with a son with extreme special needs who needs both a break and the money to do something special for herself and her husband (other than pay for more therapy and medical bills). I'd love to send my kids' preschool teacher (whom we were with for 7 straight years) on a local, mini-vacation with her husband and kids in recognition of what she's done for us and the hard time they've had through their foster/adopt/rehab-therapy process with the kids. I'd love to find and provide an incredible experience to my husband's aunt who will probably die in the next several months from cancer (wait - that one probably doesn't count, as it's a relative - but you get the idea!).

Man - I could go through $10K so fast, and spark some serious connection and joy in my own community!
Thanks for this!
