By donating the value of my scholarships, I have likely impacted 50,000 lives, prevented 9 deaths, and significantly improved the lives of thousands of animals.
Numbers leave some people cold, but as with most EAs I’m a big believer in the power of numbers like these, they make me feel warm inside. Thanks for sharing your cash, but also your story, as a fellow pledger, I hope these stories inspire others to do the same.
Thank you for your kind words, @Non-zero-sum James! I typically think about my donations in a rather abstract way, so doing the calculations and realising I’ve likely saved 9 lives was really special for me. I’m glad the numbers resonate with you as well.
