[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 725270, member: 21572"] I was unaware that any charities still existed that could be trusted. in my opinion, if I can't hand my monies over (personally) to the individual or individuals deserving of my monies, then I don't part with any monies. Society has become all too eager to spend other people's hard-earned money wrongfully. And don't even get me started on the bleeding-heart commercials that air this time of year with children from Africa sitting crying with flies in their eyes. We had a neighbour many years ago who had so graciously signed-up for to donate monthly to support a needy child from Africa. He was sent pictures of the (so called) child, and really buttered-up by the people behind the cause, and we warned him against it. Needless to say, some 6 or so months later, our neighbour came over to inform us that he had been taken for a ride, and poor fella was in tears. He was on a fixed income and really couldn't afford it, yet he still felt the need to help. Shame on our world! [/QUOTE]
