If I Won

There's a lot of talk about the amount to be won in the upcoming lottery jackpot.  After hearing of what people would do with $48 million dollars, I thought I'd share my ideas.  First of all, I'm a simple guy with simple pleasures. My attraction to money would be my chance to donate the amount I've always want to give to charity.

First on the list would be 'The Boys And Girls Club of Winnipeg' so that the children would have a chance to enjoy living their life as a child to it's fullest.  I feel I've given so much as a volunteer and yet I want to continue to give more.  My heart sank when I learned I cannot contribute more help any time soon.  Everything that I did was for the love for an organization that reminded what love can be if you were to allow it to be.  

Second on the list would be to help transform a plaza in my mother's hometown into a community centre.  This is actually a dream of mine from a person who reminded and inspired me the importance of being part of a community. As a thank-you I would name the hall in her honor so that she could inspire others for several years to come.  

Last but not least I'd create my own non-profit organization that would encourage inner city children to read graphic novels.  This is a personal pet project of mine that I would love to see a reality.  My only minor 'flaw' would be having it specified to only teenagers due to the subject matter involved in the various graphic novels.  Someday I hope to make this one dream a reality.

Nonetheless I suppose a man can only dream for a better place to live in and have the finer things in life.  My idea of a better place to live is where children have a better lifestyle.  One of the finest things in life is the company of good people.  Just as long as I have a good roof over my head, clothes to wear and a meal to eat everyday what matters the most to me.  For as far I'm concerned I prefer spending time with friends than several amounts of money.
