text: There are many rich people out there who want to help poor people.  But I have never heard of any rich person that individuals can write to for money.  Rich people usually donate to organizations, and these organizations help mostly people in desperate circumstances, who are staving or homeless or owing hundreds of thousands in doctor bills for their kids.  I don't think there is any organization that gives money to people like you. \n\nIf you need help, you can contact food banks in your area or talk to people at your place of worship.  Consider getting a loan, if possible.  \n\nPlease don't spend much time trying to hunt for these mythical "philanthropists".  They don't exist.
