Thanks for this Pachy. I plan to get gift cards to stores that sell groceries and other stuff to give to some of my really hard up clients. I will tell them "someone" donated the cards so they don't know I got them. I ask have a friend who is struggling. Going to give some of it to her too.

I already increased my monthly donation to a chain of homeless shelters that I support and I just ran up to the local clinic and donated bunch of supplies etc I don’t think we will get any kind of stimulus check though. First of all we have only partial loss of income, our main income is intact plus we make way more than 75k combined (if they go by combined household income).
But if I did get it I’d significantly increase my donations. |

I have to pay off 2 huge credit card bills and this stimulus check will just about take care of it. Donating is a good idea though.

I just read that married couple with no kids will get stimulus if they make 150k or less combined.
I’ve also read that people need to hurry up and file taxes or they’ll go by 2018 taxes |

I heard from a CPA that tax filing is not a necessity at least for those of us who don't make enough to bother filing & SS is not taxable on its own. Maybe for higher incomes it might help but IRS filing has been moved to July so I can't imagine they would use it for some & not for others.....just a thought

We were talking about how when people encourage others to donate their check, they don’t know if people have families they might want to give money to before or instead of donation |
