Saving Lives, One Rent Check at a Time - Forbes.com: "Keith Taylor turned his check-writing hobby into an online charity targeting the working poor and watched his donor rolls snowball
Keith Taylor used to be a $350-a-month philanthropist. As an English teacher at Middle Tennessee State University, Taylor put up a little Web site offering to help people out with small portions of his $33,000 salary. He'd wade through his e-mail inbox and send small checks to people with one-time needs. There was the woman who asked him to help pay for her son's glasses and the man who needed $65 to cover his monthly auto insurance. It was direct and personal, charity scaled down to the basics."
