Everybody has their thing.  I would rescue as many animals as I can and hire people to help me take care of them.

Feed children.  I give every month to local food banks but if I was rich i could touch the lives of so many working class families with food and shelter.  My mom stressed this so much for others when I was very young.

I’d try to help veterans in some way. A place where they’d always get necessary care promptly, support or a place to live.

As soon as I read your title, that is exactly what I was going to say I would do. I live in Texas and we have a huge "dumping" problem. It breaks my heart that I am constantly hearing stories of animal abuse.

I too would help the animals especially kitties. All kitties and dogs deserve a home with food and love.

I would start by helping the homeless population. There are so many folks that can't afford housing, food, never mind medications and health care. There are homeless families, veterans and teen runaways who are overlooked. I would start there.

I just came back from my bank across the street from my office.  As I was heading out the door downstairs I noticed a man walking by with all his worldly items on him.  Just after 9:00 a.m. here and they are making their way out of the downtown area where they sleep until they can get back tonight.  It is so heartbreaking but we can do what we can and as much as we are able.

If I were rich I would buy properties and offer low income housing to individuals who cannot afford regular housing.  The rent prices are ridiculous.

If I were a multi-billionaire, I would go big.  Really big.  For decades, the USA has grown more food than it can consume.  I would use my money to facilitate the procurement, shipping, delivery and distribution of this excess food to not only the needy in the USA but to starving people around the world, such as Sudan and Gaza.  In this day and age, there should be no hunger and starvation anywhere.  Right now, there is excess food in warehouses that should be going to starving people instead of just sitting there and eventually rotting away.  It's a disgrace.  It breaks my heart and makes me so angry that this is happening.  I was blessed to be born in the USA instead of the slums of Calcutta.  There, but for the grace of God, go I.

I would help Veterans and feed anyone in need. Have a program that would help pay, rent, utilities and buy medication and clothing.
