8. Squander 9. Magnanimous
Following in the wake of the first Category 5 storm in the Atlantic in nearly a decade,
Hurricane Matthew victims urgently need a huge largess5 to help recover from this tragedy.
Hurricane Matthew affected Haiti, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and the southeastern
part of the United States. Apple has asked its customers to sacrifice a munificent2 donation to aid
disaster relief efforts in these areas. The full amount of magnanimous9 proceeds will go to the
American Red Cross, thus easing the tax on donations if the person were to donate directly to the
altruistic1 organization. The American Red Cross is devoted to alleviate human suffering in the
face of emergencies and the philanthropic4 association is treating this disaster no differently. As
of Tuesday 4,500 people are seeking refuge in 77 Red Cross community shelters across the
southeast which runs and functions on only donations. The only method to help fellow
lifestyle even if it isnt their intention to, it is human nature to be motivated by materialistic
things. Truth be told, however, most of these materialistic things will loose their value the
moment a person purchases it which is what leads the majority of people to squander8 most of
their paychecks. Although there is absolutely no wrong in living a lavish7 life because the person
earned every single cent through hard work, when rare opportunities like Hurricane Matthew
come along to invest that money for the good of mankind it never hurts to donate even a dollar.
