We won't be getting checks because we are still working, but I really like the ideas of donating to restaurant wait staff as my daughter is one, not here. Tipping 40% is reasonable, as is a fake birthday party where they all sing to the patron, and giving each one $50. I also admire people who band together and donate to the first responders or band together to purchase something for the first responders as needed. Churches need help outside the villages, and large initial donations will help overcome immediate cash flow crunch issues to survive longer.
Paying off credit cards for relatives who are stuck is the number one way to help them get by without increasing their future financial risk, rent, health insurance, are a close second.
Personally, posts about helping out others with compassion, human creativity helping advancement of the human race, overcoming obstacles, and making our lives safer and fun, are my favorite reads, and keep hope alive for a better tomorrow.
