Making people beg for money!!
I really do not feel that that is very nice because there are going to be many people who have answered your question who are going to be disappointed when you don't choose them..
Isn't this just about you feeling a little bit powerful now that you have won the lottery.. and no I am not envious.. I won quite a large amount last year but really would not do this sort of thing as it's rubbing other peoples' noses in it... |

Hello,
This is a very sincere gesture.. I won £5000's worth of holiday vouchers a few months ago and used them to give family and friends a holiday abroad... so congratulations on your win.
I am travelling [using my own money ] to Uganda and Rwanda on the 31st December. I intended to take clothes, shoes [shoes in particular] over for the refugees, displaced people, children in orphanages; those affected by Aids/HIV and the children in particular who have been forced into becoming child soldiers and have been forced into killing in some case their own parents and friends [there are still conflicts going on in the North and North West of Uganda].

It is a difficult one, as I appreciate that there are many people who believe that charity should start at home, but each time I visit an underdeveloped country, I feel so very fortunate that I was born in the UK, and have all of the opportunities that I have been afforded, even the ability to win my own little competition prize...
Any assistance would be appreciated and it would not need to be monetary, it could be clothing or shoes which would not need to amount to £1000.
In any event.. enjoy your win! Moreover, I hope that your friends and family are happy for you and don't make you feel that you have to give more to them then you are willing or able to. A couple of people fell out with me as I could not stretch the vouchers to give everyone a holiday which was quite sad... |

I personally would give it to some African cause..people are very derisory when it comes to Africa... but really that continent is in a mess.. there are children dying every minute.. and although we also have suffering in the UK, it is nowhere near the scale which is experienced over there.
In the UK we have a national health service, social security benefits, state housing....the system fails a lot of people it is true, but still, people here are not dying from Aids on the same scale; women are not being sexually assaulted as a form of warfare; people are not eating weeds as they have no food, children are not being left with no parents or family due to the continued wars over there...the continent in parts is one of absolute devastation..
It must be a hard decision for you.. I don't envy your choice as there are some worthy answers here..I would consider Africa, as a little money or even provisions can go a long way there. |

What a lovely thing to do.
How about the Salvation Army.
To me that's what Xmas is all about.
They help people who realy need it at this time of year.
They also have shelters for female victims of abuse and their children.
I hope you enjoy your money
You are a lovely person |

I have to ask the question, if you won quite a lot why only £1000. and if you are giving to charity then Im not sure yahoo is going to be the best place to start looking.
there are worthy causes in their millions. and we will all have our own bias. I for example would love you to give money to the small parent support charity I am on the committee of. My own daughter sufers from the condition and although she is 18 is still waiting to develop into a "woman" something all her friends did at 11 or 12. constant hospital visits, infections, transfusions and nightly treatments have taken their toll, but ....
i could go on and on, you see something close to me, so I think its the most worthy cause in the world. if your interested www.diamondblackfan.org.uk we would love to have £1000 it would pay for another 5 different sets of leaflets on the condition. |

judging from the currency u r british...if u r then maybe there are some needy people living on the streets there? maybe there is an organization like the salvation army that will use the money to buy clothes and food for those people...or even unicef, they have had a large drop in donations over the years...good luck and let me know how it goes

I wouldn't ask for it myself, but I sponsor a child in Africa and that's very worthwhile. Perhaps you could do the same. Plan International costs £12 per month. |

im a single parent with two kids 2 & 10yrs. my daughter's father walked out of her life a few months ago again. he pays no money, and he knows he can get away with it now the csa has disbandoned. ive been trying to buy the odd gift for the kids which is pricy but cant afford it on top of other food etc. have managed to buy them some gifts, but i know those extra few would really light up their xmas. what would also make our lives easier to get about with would be a cheap used un-around car. this way i am able to spend proper time with them at places which would educate them and where they would have fun. |

check our website
at www.cwdsypraxia.org
we are trying to raise £150,000 to build our own sensory building which will help children and adults with dyspraxia. We are holding car boots, and haveing a charity night on 6th march, to help boost our funds as every little helps, it really is a worthy cause, and one that needs more awareness, as a lot of people including teachers are very ignorant about the fact, which makes our childrens lives very difficult
thanks |

lucky you! how about giving it to someone who lost their money on that farepack (not sure how it is spelt) saving club thing? loads of people lost their Christmas savings and loads of families will be going without because of it. |

well here is a place that would really need help.
the first place is an orphanage in Mongolia.. you can even check out that your money goes straight to the place and you help so many kids who have no where to go. they are not looking for adoptions but just contributions for these kids who cannot live at home with their parents.
http://www.lotuschild.org/stories.htm
also, here is a place where you can give charities to specific causes like a woman who has hiv and for 12 dollars you can buy formula milk for her baby so she wont transfer the virus to her baby or you can buy school supplies for a kid that will last him a year or more.
http://www.amurt.us/
actually anyone can donate to these people.. but i really feel something close for the kids in the orphanage.. read their stories.. look at their faces...help them out anyone :) |

You should donate the money to a place in Reading, called Christchurch Gardens. It's a home for the disabled and those with down's syndrome. I feel they are worthy as they do some very good work and not all the people who live there can afford little treats

That would help with my elbow surgery, instead of having to wait for NHS. Check it with my surgeon at Chelsea hospital. |

I would love to be in the position to offer the money to charity. It's been tough this year. I sold up and moved to France for love !!! We are now stuck in a position of having no oil for heating and only a few hundered euros for Christmas and most of January...the kids are great and understand...but we have no hot water or heating and it is freezing, making the house damp. Also our funds are needed for my friend to travel to the UK for an on going court case to protect his kids, that's all I can say on that. We are so happy here together but are really struggling to even put food on the table at the moment. The money would mean everything just now. New baby arriving in a few weeks too!! I hope you enjoy your chunk of the dosh and have a fab Christmas.
PS...this feels weird...I've never had to put my case forward like this before..! |

Hello! My name is Diana Quinones, and I am a single mother of three children. I am struggling financially in many ways. Recently this past week my vehicle was towed due to an insurance lapse. I have really no support around me, and am ashamed to bother anyone. I need help, and am in a desperate situation. Can anyone help? |
