So many issues...how can those in debt help?

Maybe I am just growing into this, but it feels like there are so many different issues going on right now and I want to help out, but which issue do I help with?

I mean look at it:

- The floods
- Tornadoes
- FEMA trailers
- The Red Cross is out of money
- Hurricane Katrina Victims are still struggling and now they are in danger of another hurricane this season
- Energy Crisis
- Gas prices
- Global Warming
- World Poverty
- Water is running out...especially in Southern California

and that's just a few here in the US...there are also huge global issues!

Ahh...why do I feel overwhelmed! What do we do...what is it you choose to do? I am not about to sit back and watch from a distance, I am ready to help, but I am also gaining about $30,000 of debt...

How do I make money enough money to pay my debts and rent while also helping out?! Does anyone have the answer?

  • I understand where you're coming from here - I have two children, no real job and crushing debt from student loans. The way I help out is through the local temples and churches; I donate whatever food I can (usually a bag of rice or canned foods) which is either sent to areas affected by disaster or kept here to feed people through food boxes. It isn't much, but if everyone gave just a little, nobody would go hungry. You can also mobilize others through websites and local volunteer campaigns. One great site is volunteermatch.org where you put in your details and it finds volunteer opportunities in your area. Every little bit helps, and its good karma too!
    Hope this helps -
