Widget to collect money from friends

Altruism, responsiveness and mutual assistance - these are the qualities that can be the basis for excellent network projects, including commercially successful ones. A good example is the company Causes , which publishes a widget for collecting charitable donations on social networks Facebook and MySpace. With the help of a simple widget, you can collect money from your friends and acquaintances for absolutely any need: from helping starving people in Africa to protecting beavers from violence.
