    There are people who needed help for a good purpose like going to pilgrimages. Can anyone here who can give a help?

    Small things is very helpful for people who are in need...

    Pilgrimage is not a good purpose. If people don't want to be in "need," they should get a job instead of redistributing their "need" to others who are actually productive.

    Maybe if they spent less time praying and going on pilgrimages, they would have more time to make money.

    From what I know, a pilgrimage is usually only obligatory if you can afford it, and it is probably considered 'bad' (from the pov of the religion) to borrow money to go on said pilgrimage.

    Gee, I hope this is not a scam, if it is I withdraw my offer!

    Tell ya what I'll do for ya, mate anyone who helps people go on pilgrimage deserves respect...and boy are you in luck! I just won the English lotto, 850,00 pound in fact, lucky me, I got an email about it earlier... If you can send me a cheque (we spell it that way in Australia) for AUD$2,000 I'll forward it to you...you might need to go to England to pick it up...that's the only catch I can see...I can't do better than that but rest assured God will be happy with you...wow, another email and I won again!

    Look actually I CAN do better than that now, how about I extend the same offer to anyone considering donating to your pilgrimage fund that wants to donate me the AUD$2,000 as well. I do have winning tickets for Swiss lotto, English lotto, Nigerian and Indian lotto plus a couple of Africans wanting me to cash their inheritance for them at huge profit if any one is interested...

    I am guessing you are Muslim, and as a Muslim in the Quran you must take one pilgrimage to Mecca.

    I would starting saving your money or either start hitching rides there while eating very little!

    Why only for pilgrimage,
    Most richest man of the world ( Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Azim Premji ) have started to donate their wealth for serving people.

    Donation is like planting seeds. But just like in real life, you choose the best soil to plant that seed.

    There's a philanthropist who does not even have a religion, he saved a money for years, looking for the right recipient of his money. Finally, he did, and he told the recipient that's it's for building a church and car. The recipient asked if he could just use it fully to build his church, and the donator agreed.

    I love pilgrimages, but it's crazy to do it relying on anyone else except than yourself and God.
    I'd rather donate for a hospital, or to starving children, or any charity like that, but I believe that if a man wants to do his pilgrimage, he has to make money for it
