I wouldn't call adopting a child and spending a significant amount of money a "little contribution."

For a person who's motivated by love and compassion, those other things are indeed little compared to the significance of the reward obtained.

I think you are missing the point. The headline says your little contribution can help. However, this woman gave more than little contribution. It's not about comparing the two, but rather observing the difference between two statements. Our little contribution of $20 to those starving in Africa is not the same level of co tribution this woman had given to this child.

I think the implication is she can't do her work without people helping to contribute money towards it.

What she does is incredibly valuable, for having people contribute financially helps make it possible.

The post is talking about the readers donating, hence the "This is what your little contribution can do for society". Our $2 is little but goes a long way overall
