KMendez MIlwaukee, Wisconsin United States of America Discovery of MatchSavings.org and the concept of IDA's for the purpose of poverty alleviation was the ah-ah moment inspiring the topic of creative and compassionate economics as my Masters Thesis.

Marlene S Lloydminster, Alberta Canada I'm doing it because I feel that even with my small donation, every dollar can make a difference to someone who is struggling with poverty, just trying to get ahead for their family.
