<prompt> Human: I am 30 and 3 years ago I was diagnosed with a rare disease that has caused liver cirrhosis. It was devastating, but now I am living pretty normally, waiting until Im sick enough for my doctors to justify the living donor transplant surgery.I was contacted by my sorority chapter advisor and she said the chapter wanted to do a fund raiser for me, they raised 3,200 and sent me a check. I dont know when my liver will fail and when I will use the money, it could even be five years from now. Do I put it in a savings account? How do I do my taxes? Im afraid that two years from now people will be like... did she ever get a transplant or just take our money?I would never do anything unethical with it, but afraid of what others will think since I dont know a date.Where do I put this donation until the time comes?Edit: I see people occasionally in the news being arrested for faking cancer or something for donations! Im not a fake, I just dont know when my liver will fail! Did I accept this donation too soon? Edit 2: Thanks everyone! Your responses helped ease my mind about putting it in a seperate account. I have no intentions of investing it. I feel better knowing its perfectly okay to let it sit in a savings account and that I most likely will not owe taxes on it.  <response>: As for the money, put it in a savings account. Dont invest with it, as you never know when exactly youll need it, and at that point in time you want that money to be available to you.
