Woman Donates Wealth
A 100-year-old woman, Eugenia Dodson, designated $35.6 million of her wealth to go to diabetes and cancer research after her death last year.
Most of the money went to the University of Miami’s Diabetes Research Institute. Donald Kubit, co-trustee of her fund, said Dodson inherited her wealth from her husband and lived frugally in a small condo and refusing in-home medical care until she was nearly 100.
“She denied herself the trappings of wealth," he said in this article. "She was dead-set on doing good for humankind. She had a big heart.”

Hey- I just have a question- that doesn't necessarily have to do with this post, however- do you have any good ideas for cheap christmas gifts? Christmas is coming quick- and Im just trying to think of how to be creative and still give a nice gift to everyone on my list from ages 2-52. Any tips or do you know of any good websites that don't just teach you how to make ornaments, candles, and potpouri- that's all i've really found. Any thoughts on the whole Christmas gift thing- ? thanks.
Cheers. By the way- I love the Relevant Podcast- I listen to it every week!
