$5 to Save the World

"A Single Raindrop Raises the Sea"

The summer of 2015, a girl at my school was involved in a terrible car crash. A car swerved across the  median into her lane, collided with her car, and then she was hit from behind. She survived, but was badly injured, and her family didn't have the money to provide her with the long-term medical care she so desperately needed. That was the first time I learned about GoFundMe.

And that's after asking for thoughts. So I bounced the idea off of some friends in the Social Innovation Leadership Council, and they thought it was interesting. That's a crowd, however, that's more likely to be interested in the topic. So I'm going to try to get some more feedback from people who might not be so naturally interested. I also need to work better on a claim that could actually be an argument, as it currently is not very controversial.
