+ USAtogether.org

An Iraqi soldier with only one foot pleaded for help on the Internet. She needed $1000 for her mortgage and her husband was at war in Iraq.
Many other US soldiers asked for help on the Internet, also, which led to the creation of the website USAtogether.org. It was put together by Silicon Valley professionals in California. (It's not one of those charities run by churches.)
A guy named Dave Mahler had this in his mind for a year when he was looking for a community service project and made it his duty to help the US soldiers who were hurt and in need of help.
I think it's nice and all, but what about the homeless people? Why don't they make a website for the poor who need serious help? (BTW if any of you are making a website, might i suggest you name it helpthehomeless.org. Just a thought.)
