If you were given $100, but you couldn't spend it on yourself,or your family. why, when, what, where, and how would u spend it?
I'll elaborate if people actually respond to this.

Given those constraints, I would look around and see if there was a disabled veterans group to contribute it to. If not that, I might just donate it to a senior services center.

I would give it to someone that was "hard up" for money or a charitable organization.

If you haven't guessed, or thought the possibility of... I was given this opportunity. It's pretty awesome. I'm praying about it all week, and looking forward to see where this leads. I'll update soon enough. thanks for the suggestions, and responses.

If you are supposed to actually "spend" it rather than "gift" it. Christmas season is coming up, you can buy some toys and donate them to "Toys for Tots" or send a care package to some troops, overseas. I would probably do one of the two.

I was thinking of options like these, I think it would be cool to do something local too.

I've talked to a few friends, and have come up with a few ideas. I'll post soon, where it ends up!

Ended up buying a box of animals for a 2nd grader (he loves animals) for a Christmas present. We also bought his 5th grade sister some lip gloss girly items. We also got some diapers for a family that just had a newborn. We got a gift card for another family for Sonic. All of these families were struggling, so we tried to meet a need where it might be needed most. Some things weren't necessarily needs (such as Sonic), but we figured they don't have the extra money for treating themselves. We are giving the leftover money to a family that is going into full time ministry.
I'm glad I got to be a part of this experience! Its amazing the gifts people give, and don't even take credit for the giving. A very trusting family to give $100 to some college students! I hope we didn't squander it!
