Cases: the envelope: receive an email stating that you could save 30 children if you donate. You have this sweet sedan and the blood that will get on the leather seats will cost . You leave him to bleed and he is picked up by another but loses his limb: the bungalow compound: you receive the letter at your resort in haiti. It states that if you give you will save the lives of 30 children that you can physically see suffering right over the wall.
