Why would you be best recipient of the money?

The money should not come to me.  Perhps the money would be better spent educating, the most people possible, on money management and how money works. 

Statistics have shown that people who receive this kind of windfall seldom know how to maintain the status quo they find themselves in, but instead, sink back to their previous state of disorder and debt.

It's funny; but the people that need it the most, won't ask for it. I'm sure you can find them, though. They will be broke, but still willing to give you the shirt off their back. Good luck.

It shouldn't.

It's your money, it's yours to do with as you wish.

But if I had any with which to be philanthropic (I don't), then I think I'd give it in ways which would help people or causes I believed in or cared about.

I'd give to animal shelters (I don't want to see animals killed just because they're homeless) and to shelters for homeless families and/or abused women (and men).

I'd give to cancer research and muscular dystrophy research and epilepsy research and any other medical research that I felt a connection to because of my loved ones.

I'd arrange scholarships that would be open to single parents. I'd set up others for children studying to be journalists or teachers or artists or musicians - or for people who didn't qualify for any other available kind of scholarship, but had a real need for financial aid in order to have an education.

I'd fund a lending library in a poor neighborhood so anyone who wanted to could have access to books and could read as many as they want, as often as they want.

I'd set up a fund to make sure that museums and fun places for kids and families could be open at least twice a month, free to anyone who wanted to visit. And then I'd make it so admission fees were affordable for all the other days.

I'd make sure that any child who wanted to play a sport or a musical instrument could afford the equipment so that his or her parents wouldn't have to tell them no, just because there was no money for supplies.

The list is endless... far more people and places to help than money to put towards helping.

If you truly do have the funds with which to help people, then I'm sure you already have someone or something in mind who's worthy of assistance and can truly use it.

Good luck to you - and to them.

Funny question. Why would you give the money to a person, not benefit? And why would you worry about what happens after you give the money?

Totally honest, I just meant that you will find better benefit purposes outside private people reading yadda. I would give it to Unicef (and I do give my share). Others find better to give for some ideological charity (e.g. Christian). I just never heard of "saving one person" charity and it seems dishonest to me. Do you expect them to feel a moral obligation towards you for the rest of their lives? I mean it with perfect sincerity, not to blame you but to make you question your chosen path.

The other thing is that you probably need to refrase the question anyway. Do you want to find someone particular or are you just asking for search instructions. So far nobody has voulonteered as the charity object.

If I were in the position that you claim to be, I would be doing whatever I could to stop Poverty and help the Two Million homeless people in America many of which are out there on the streets with their Families, children not knowing if they will eat today or what patch of grass they will sleep on tonight (if they sleep).  My point is,  look around you, open your eyes to the ugly things that we only imagine and that people live with day to day.  Your answer will be there.
