I would give some of it to the youth center i went to when I was younger. Sunvalley helps a lot of kids and they dont get paid for it, they do it just because they care for the kids, and I want to show my appreciation and give back to my community.

If I had a billion dollars and were going to give some away, I would choose to help those kids that wake up wishing for something to eat or clean water to drink. Those who wish to have a stable food and water supply. I would help those on the edge of giving up and quiting. This would be accomplished by not giving them lots of food but building something that could last forever, not a temporarily
