A fellow came to our door just then. He was rather short and withdrawn and asked me gently if I would like to buy a raffle ticket for the Cancer & Bowel Research Trust. I decided I would buy one so I went into my coin bowl and got all the 50c and 20c coins I could find. I counted them out to him and it added up to $7. So I got two raffles tickets. He was ambiguously pleased and said that I'd equalled the record donation for the day. He'd been working for 6 hours and had got $100 worth of donations. He was a bit overwhelmed by the thought of it, and I felt quite sad about it. He left, but after a moment I decided to chase after him and give him the $50 note I had in my wallet. I have lots of money this month because I'm doing poverty budget - I don't think charitable donations are included in the "disposable income" bit thankfully. He was quite surprised, but I didn't really want more raffle tickets so I trotted off. He came back to the house 5 minutes later with a fistful of raffle tickets and two good pens. I just tested one of them out, and they are really nice pens indeed.
