I donated money to the Red Cross for Hurricane Harvey victims. This was several weeks ago. About two weeks after I did this I started getting solicitations for any and all charities under the sun. My mailbox is full every day filled with address stickers and pens and the like trying to get me to donate to them. Since my donation I must have received almost 50 or more envelopes asking for money. This will be my last donation to the Red Cross. I had no idea they would stoop so low as to share or sell my information. This past summer I donated to a few Go Fund me accounts on line. Now Go Fund me won't leave me alone. All of this makes me feel less charitable or to only give locally from now on.
