Yet on the other hand, I can do things like, oh, advertise the cause in my LJ. But is that "enough"?
Maybe a more constructive question is "is it helping?" Wanting it to be "enough" -- especially if we can't answer "enough for what?" -- is more likely to lead to burnout and frustration than anything else.
That's how people trap themselves into thinking what they do doesn't count. It does. If one person gets a meal, a coat, job training, legal assistance, whatever, even if it's just becuase you wrote a check or cleared out something "extra"? It counts.
