You know, the first time around, I thought that this was a hoax. I also thought that it would never continue till now.
Do you remember
projectdownload ? There is a woman named Erin, who requires Brain Surgeries, and cannot because she does not qualify for insurance, or medicare in her state. They're expensive. She elaborates, in the file
here. She's recently had a couple of seizures and memory lost, and it's a really unfortunate. So, even if you download the file once, it would probably help her to a degree.
It does seem hoaxy at first, but who would lie about something like that? Furthermore, all that you're giving in a couple seconds of your time (even on 56k!), so you're really not losing something anyways. Unless you want those precious 2KB of memory.
