If you were given $1,000 to change the life of a perfect stranger, what would you do?

    You may have heard about the concept of paying it forward -- the idea of doing something meaningful to help someone else without asking for anything in return. So, if you were given $1,000 with the understanding that it had to be used to help others, how would you use the money and why?

    I'd find the most efficient way I could use the money to help some people on the street find jobs (new clothes, shower, some shelter, etc).

    I'd distribute foods, clothes and other things to the poor.
