Wow, What a tear jerker OPRAH was today!
Today was the day that Oprah showed some of the people who gave $1,000.00 to people.
A few weeks ago Oprah gave 314 people in her audience a BANK OF AMERICA Debit Card with $1,000.00 on it.
Her only rules were to give it to a stranger and video tape what you do with it. You could divide it amongst as many people as you wanted.
Ive been thinking about doing something like this ever since I saw it. I dont know who or where I want to do it. There are so many deserving people. Check out the link below to see the show.
