Givinganon: Help your Friend or Neighbor Anonymously

If you want to help a friend, relative or neighbor who is struggling financially and at the same time don’t want them to feel awkward about it, Givinganon has a solution. It is a non-profit website that lets you anonymously donate money to anyone you want. Every penny is forwarded to the recipient without putting him or her into embarrassing situation.

Using the website is really easy, simply fill recipients name, address and the amount you want to give. Once you provide it with your credit card details it will do the rest and send a confirmation email once the person gets the money. The recipient can (optionally) leave a thank you message to a donor.

I think this is a splendid idea. I’ll spread the word one day all my friends and I have a party.
They already know I am struggling financially :)
