    Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

    I appreciate the money, but I don't need it. I'm trying to come up with a unique idea on how to spend it so it can benefit someone who could truly use it.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    I know JDRF is near and dear to you, and that's always a good choice.

    If you are looking for another worthy charity, I'd love to suggest Give Kids the World. https://www.gktw.org/index.php

    They are the resort that families on Wish trips stay at. They are a separate non-profit from Make-A-Wish, and actually serve all of the Wish organizations around the world. GKTW is the charity that arranges park tickets, lodging, food, etc... for these wish trips. Make-A-Wish actually only sets everything up and pays for transport/spending money.

    GKTW is closed right now due to covid-19, but can always use more money. It costs around $750 for them to host a family for a week, so a donation of that would sponsor at least 1 family to spend their wish trip there.

    If you are looking for something with more of a local impact, food banks or battered women's shelters seem to be an apt choice right now.
