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.

You will find people on Facebook that you don't know asking for money on Go Fund Me. I am VERY skeptical about Go Fund Me.
