[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725275, member: 1550"] I think there are good charities and am very caring of people and animals in distress. If I get cheated a time or two, at least I meant well. I have done a lot of volunteering and know there are good places out there that do not abuse our money and thats why I asked the question. The only monthly gift I give is to the humane society and that is $10 month, but I often give for particular causes when needed, if I feel moved to do so. Most are small and volunteer run and never on TV, with the exception being to the Humane Society. And I am a sucker for the homeless. If I see one on the street, call me a fool, but I usually give a few bucks. That could be anyone's child. Again, if I err, I meant well. I follow my heart. If I lose a few bucks, I still meant well and I never give more than I can afford. I believe in sharing what I have, but I am smart enough not to believe a scam and give all I have. That is the fault in my opinion of the person who doesn't check things out and gives more than he/she can afford. No offense to that man, but why did he give more money than he had? There is giving from the heart, and just not being smart. I will never stop sharing the little I have. And I will never go broke doing it. Humane Society commercials make me cry. I have to mute them. I love animals and have volunteered at our humane society after it became no-kill. I want to retire doing charity work for animals. I am more ashamed of a world that has no heart. Old Hand, you are kind, and I am not talking about you. Not at all. I am just, in this time of hopefully heightened awareness about those in need, wanting to know about smaller charities that need a little help now and again. I do only what I can. I am wishing everyone happy holidays and solstice!!! You are all great and are good and well meaning! [/QUOTE]
