Default You Can Help!

My son Michael and I have been supporting a Los Angeles based rabbit rescue organization for some time now that he tells me is in risk of shutting down for a lack of funds. Here is the message he has placed on FaceBook appealing for assistance in a way that costs us nothing but for a few moments of our time:
"Please help this rabbit rescue I have helped and supported for a long time to win a much needed grant to help save the lives of many baby bunnies being sold illegally in Down Town Los Angeles Fashion District.

Please visit this link to VOTE, it's QUICK and EASY (I promise) and free. It would be greatly appreciated!

September 19th is the deadline

Thank you!

Chase Community Giving on Facebook | Facebook

If you have a Chase Bank account you can vote for them a second time as well!

https://www.chasegiving.com/charity/...in/26-3792479/"
My thanks in advance to any of you animal lovers who will help keep this worthy cause!

Joe

Absolutely! I not only voted but also gave a donation through PayPal!

My son and his GF have worked with this organization and have even fostered several bunnies while awaiting adoption.

If you want to read more about them, here's their website address:

Bunny World Foundation - Home

BTW, I'm real too... at least I think I am!

I was kind of uncomfortable doing this vote because it asks that a Chase bank APP be allowed to take your private information as well as your friends' likes so that you can vote.

So, I did not vote. I try to limit the number of APPs posting on my Facebook page. Investigating my friends' like also kind of really bothers me when an an APP asks something like that.

An app request is nothing unusual in FaceBook. However, I can't blame you for being cautious about approving an app, especially one you're not familiar with. I frequently don't follow through with the apps either... even on those requests made by my son. In this case I made an exception and had no problems with following through with the vote.

The questioning could have been worded a little less bluntly, but it is OK to question what I posted. Heaven knows that there are enough scams and schemers out there and it doesn't hurt to be a bit cautious and question . BTW, I didn't request any donations, but presuming you made a donation, I appreciate and thank you for making it, and I'm sure my son and his GF would too!

Excuse me ! Serious question.Donations for rabbits because of something to do with Los Angeles and clothiers. Excuse me I ask question first if I am to donate. So do not ask if I am for real,I am maybe you are not.Many scams online and I like to check, Scammers would love you if you criticize me.

You seem to be implying that my post was asking for donations! Weither you meant that or not, I want make it perfectly clear that I made no mention of donations nor was I asking for any. I was only requesting votes to help get the organization a grant from Chase!

My reply was not to you. Seems she questioned me about if I am real. She made the donation.
