Yahoo! Answers is an innovative service that allows users to post questions related to any topic and receive answers from
the entire community.

In October, the well known TV star Oprah Winfrey launched a contest to offer every person in the audience $1000 to donate in a charitable cause. This time, the TV star posted a question on Yahoo! Answers to view what users would do with $1000.

"Oprah is asking Answerers to share how they would help out a perfect stranger if given the opportunity. Her premise for paying it forward is simple - if given $1,000 to help better someone's life, how would you do it? Members of her audience were given $1,000, a video camera, and one week to complete this task. The act had to be selfless, which for many people is the first of many hurdles in this process," Yahoo! Answers Team said on the blog.

"You may have heard about the concept of paying it forward -- the idea of doing something meaningful to help someone else without asking for anything in return. So, if you were given $1,000 with the understanding that it had to be used to help others, how would you use the money and why?" Oprah sustained.

If you're interested in the answers provided by the members of the community or you just want to post an answer, then you should follow this link.

Dear Oprah,
Good day. You are a very amazing women . Thank god for you. However you want to know how I would spend a 1000.00 dollars to pay it forward here goes. A year ago I left my abussive husband with our daughter, and went to a safe place, and I am 40 years old ...oh my ...well I had met some incredible women ...and I would go back to the safe place where we went to give this place a whole thousand dollars , These women at this sight helped me to gain everything I lost in myself of believing in who always wanted for myself ...and myself and daughter and oldest son are very close ...I have been writting a book for a long time , and it will be published one day it's done, and just waiting for my divoce 3-12-08 to go through ...he and other always destryed it , and I never gave up my writting it always kept me going . And today I am begining to llove myself everyday, so yes Oprah...this is exactly what I would do , hope I answered your quiestion thank you , and have a wounderful day .
S incerly , Barbara Gonzalez.
