On that note, how would you spend the other $1000 for yourself?
I think this is a more creative question than Oprah's. But kudos to her for a good start.

Thanks for asking! Our office sponsors gift giving for a local underprivilged elementary school Pre-K- 1st grade each year at Christmas. This year there are 175 children and our staff has been whittled down to bare bones. I would take 1000 and do what I could to make sure these 175 children had something for Christmas. The other 1000 I would give to my brother to help pay off my mom's funeral.

At this particular time of the year, I would gift the money to one of the organizations that are sponsoring poor children to help them have a more meaningful Christmas. As far as myself goes, I would spend the money on Christmas gifts.

I would give $500 to the fund for the 9/11 Memorial. We lost a cousin in the World Trade Center. I would donate it in his memory. I would also give $500 to Breast Cancer Research, as my sister-in-law is a breast cancer survivor.
The $1000 for us I would use to get new windows, something our house needs.

I would give it to my church. My church has so many problems that need to be helped out. And that money could help fix one of them.
I would save the other 1000 for my schooling. That would pay for my books for one year.

We have a children's home that is close by that takes in children that are not up for adoption but who's parents are unable to care for them at the moment. I would help them with whatever was needed.
For the other 1,000.00, I would put toward my son's braces.

I would give it to my cousin to help him pay bills, and I would use my $1000 to pay a bill.

I would gift it to my most needy family members and some charities.
