Donations!


Who is bitter?

My point was I rather spend my personal time and money I worked for here locally, where I can see the impact, and know the $$$ is being used %100 to help the cause I have donated too. I donate my time to the local Food bank and loaves and fish's, and my money to a men's shelter helping stabilize there lives and get back on their feet.

Red Cross has a G & A of about 45%. So for every $1 you give them only about 55 cents actually goes to directly helping people in Haiti. The rest goes to cover the cost of operations.....including ridiculous rates for the most senior of members inside of the Red Cross.

If you really want your dollars to matter, look at the institution your donating too, and demand to know what is there overhead rate, or the conversion rate from donated monies to actual help. By law they have to provide this too as it is required to be disclosed as public information for not-for-profit charitable organizations.

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
