Charitable SCAMS

Research before you donate. Some charities are designed to make scammers rich yet help very few.

Excellent information. Thanks for taking the time ......................

When the administrators of charities make such a HUGE bundle of money, it does give you pause. I know they have a job and should be paid....but sometimes....you wonder.


If only we could continue along the lines of taking a name and giving directly to a family in need like many of my friends are doing here in TV. If any of you would like to do that...many of the churches will help you connect.


And the local schools too.


Merry Christmas to all.

I just bought Christmas dinner for a local needy family. Forty bucks at Publix.

Good for you. I bet it included steak, hamburger, pork chops and..




Ummm NO CHICKEN?




Seriously. That was a good thing to do.

No chicken....just turkey, taters, dressing, etc. I have no idea how much of the $40 goes to administer the program, but I felt the need to give. Now, cue VillagesPL to tell me that I am actually slitting the wrists of the needy with the dull blade of overindulgence and poor diet choices.
