Charities and Donations - 01/14/11 02:36 AM
It has been publicized that our economic state has affected many charity organizations. I was fairly consistent contributor to several organizations; American Lung, Heart, Leukemia, Alzheimers, some local police organizations food banks.
Today I received a call from an organization and I hung up the phone and was taken aback by the organization - "Children Without Hair". I was flabbergasted. I know its a pitifully sad circumstance, but in light of the world of horrorible childhood diseases, hunger and pockets of natural disasters....it just didn't seem appropriate. I felt sorry for the young lady who was making the solicitation. I did hang up on her.
What are your thoughts on the state of charity.
