I have $200 to give away to someone who is in real need of it, 'cos I made this vow unto myself that if a certain matter falls according to my plan I would donate it to someone.
But, my problem is that I don't know anyone who will like to have this money. Do you? Or would you like to have it, at least?

First of all, I find it hard (if not impossible) to believe that you can't find somebody who needs an extra $200. I could use $200. Just about everyone I know could use the extra money. Why don't you give it to a good charity?

Easy. Drive into your most local urban area, Boston, NYC etc. Just look for a homeless person who is asking for change. Better yet, wait until winter and buy some winter coats for them and give them out. If you give them $200 cash, they may use it for drugs or alcohol. You want to make sure they get something they need. Or just donate it to a homeless shelter so it can be divided up between many people in need.

The Club8586 in Cavite, Philippines could use it. They are actively helping the children living the the dumpsite of Cavite City. Monthly they do a medical mission and a feeding program and most of the time they always ran out of medical supplies. This group is composed of young people who are bonded by faith and refuse to accept donations from political sources... But private benefactors are welcome specially if they are moved by the spirit.

Yea, I need the money. But what you should do is go to the homeless shelter or the orphanage because they alwayz need money, thats the best thing you can do with. No one that can afford the internet that can answer your question needs that money.So the best thing you can do is donate the money to a well needed place. GOD BLESS!!!!

if i told you i need it, i'd be lying. Thankfully, i appreciate what god has given me and the ability to work.
Anyhow, i think you could either give that money to a charity organisation of your choice or you could just drive down to a poor neighbourhood and either buy some clothes/food/etc and distribute it over, donate that money to the third world countries to educate young people who cannot afford to.
i think donating money for poor people to educate them is the BEST thing to do and they would appreciate it beyond our imagination.
Peace.

With kids getting ready to go back to school right now maybe you could buy a bunch of school supplies and donate to a local school in your area for needy children.

You can give to to a bunch of organizations. Donate it to cancer foundations, orphanage, homeless shelter, buy kids clothes who need it, help out a needy family with bills,animal shelter, but my favorite organization is Canine Companions for Independence. Its a non-profit organization that provides highly trained assistance dogs to those who are disabled. It's your decision but be happy with who ever you give it to

go to your local school and find a legimate family who may need the help. give it to them personally. as for those charity organizations, well i donated alot of clothes, food and even a van years ago in california because of forest fires. i set right there and watched the red cross volunteer pilfer thru and take what they wanted, what their kids might want and grandkids to. i will never donate thru those organizations again.

How about the Salvation Army? There are store in every town and city, or how about going to a local church and giving them the money. Or, if you are daring....... just go out on the street around lunch time, and hand it to the first person you see!

Let me get this straight, you are going online to ask people who you should give a rather large quantity of to, when you could go to a local animal shelter, homeless shelter or homeless person? You are either really dim or a bad liar.
