A Billion Dollars

A simple question, what would you do if had a billion dollars? Ok, a couple of simple rules. No one but you knows that suddenly $1,000,000,000 was deposited into your checking account and you can use it and spend it anyway you want. I think I would do something like this. My granddaughter Myranda has cystic fibrosis. She wasn't supposed to reach age 10. The Stanford Children's Hospital flew from Palo Alto to Eureka, CA in a life-flight jet, picked up Myranda and flew her back to the hospital. There was a doctor and two registered nurses on that plane and no one ever charged us a dime. We would drive from Eureka to Stanford, a 7 hour drive, to visit her and she would show us around. There were pictures of patients on the walls and she would point at one and say, "That's my friend", and I would say, "Oh, where is he now?" and she would answer, "Yes, he is dead". So many children so sick.y granddaughter is 19 years old now, she has a BS in Biology and is enrolled in Vetenary Medicine. I would give her the money to pay for her schooling, she wouldn't accept any more. I would make a huge donation Stanford Children's Hospital, $10,000,000. I would give my kids and grandkids $100,000 each and then establish a fund if they needed anything in the future. I would pay off my friend's houses and cars and I would make them travel to really cool places with me. I love animals so I would create a foundation for sick and homeless animals. I know what a powerful place the forest and wilderness are, I would buy and create a camp for boys and girls of all ages and fund it forever. I am a veteran and I have seen veterans with physical, mental and emotional disabilities. I would make a large, reaccuring donation to Wounded Warrior Foundation. By this time I would be so happy, all I need is an apartment and food. Another group of people that could use help are the surviving family members of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. Each time I gave something, it would be like a gift to myself. What would you do with your $1,000,000,000?
