Return to article: How to Donate to Charities Wisely
on 6/30/2006 From a collector's point of view (Red Shield Appeal - Salvation Army, Australia), one of my pet peeves is when people either hide behind the curtains or give me an earful.Please bear in mind that most charities are there to save lives, or at least make life bearable. I always pray that those who I call on never have need of our services.By all means, check out the charity of your choice. Bear in mind, too, that the exceptionally wealthy First World is doing far better, day-to-day, than most of the rest of the World.Look around. Do you have a reasonably weather-proof abode, do you have a television, are you fed every day, have you had formal schooling? That's often more than the people for who I collect. Please think about giving generously, rather than just a bit of spare change. Imagine the lives you'll be changing.
