"At-risk" populations are those who cannot fend for themselves or protect themselves. They are the lesser of society in danger of being abused; the elderly, the sick or dying, prisoners, children, and animals are on this list. Children and animals probably top this list simply because they are totally at the mercy of others when it comes to their safety, health, and welfare. So, ask yourself this question: a child and an animal are both dying and only a donation of money from you can possibly save one of them, which one do you save? You can't simply put this off on someone else, you have to make the decision and live with it. You have to look into the eyes of the sick and dying and condemn them with your own words. Which one do you turn your back on? Which one do you choose to let die?
