What I think is great about this is that you and me can actually help create a better world by just showing how much we appreciate good actions! Myself I gave him 10 dollars!

Well it is good to see some nice World News for a change. 8) I just made a small donation too.

81 days of donations to go, I wonder what this guy's going to do with the half million dollars it'll be at by then - he's probably never had more than ten bucks to his name at any one time. I just hope he doesn't turn into one of those cases where it's all gone in a month.

That's a possibility, but then again he may do something like buying a house or other building and starting a private shelter. Only time will tell.

Yeah, only time will tell. But I try to have some faith in him, that he'll use 'em with care, and even if he doesn't then at least he got to have some fun again in his life! :D
