i want someone to pay for them

ok, ok...don't give me your money. give your dollars to this instead. stories like this make it hard for me to breathe. i recently read a book called "hungry planet--what the world eats." the book described what families from around the world eat and how much they spend on food in one week. one of the families was from sudan, now living as refugees in chad. they spend $1.24 (in chad's currency) on food a week for a family of EIGHT. in american dollars that is equal to about $24. kinda makes you think about the way we so carelessly throw down a bag of m & m's without a second thought...

I might be able to squeeze in that dollar for you anyway. But you're right, this does seem like a priority.
