Misrun Charity

Lately I just don't get it. And apparently, neither do they! What am I talking about you say? Charities. For a while, I was really on a giving spree. I was just in a really contributing kick- not that I could really affford it either; something just got a hold of me and when the charity felt right,to me,I gave to it. Like Cystic Fibrosis -My friend Tony Jackson from when I was like 11 years old died from it, March of Dimes, myself and brother were both preemies as well as a friend whos daughter was born at 25 weeks. FLorida PBA- My brother's a cop- Epilepsy Foundation- I have a seizure disorder- you get the picture. There's others that have no connection that just came out of the woodwork I guess they saw in the system I was giving and wanted to jump on the bandwagon and suck me dry too. so I figured why not like D A R E - Drug Abuse Resistance Education, Kids wish network and St Judes . But now more and more Charities aren't seeing a penny from their earnest contributors like myself -like D A R E and Kids Wish Network .Alot of the money isnt making it to their destinations - its going to circulations and bills and such and not where its SUPPOSED to go to the charity itself which is sad which is what Kids Wish network 's issue is. [20/20} so i cut them off.and now DA R E isn't owning up to their charity either they aren't seeing much of a dime, so I cut them off as well. I decided Hell, no more. Everyon'e getting cut off if this is the case until further notice! It's sadbecause so many needy people and kids need this money and people- STUPID greedy irresponsible people gotta go and screw the system up. I guess in the long run it saves me a bunch of money, but it's really a shame actually. I wonder where all the money is actually going when you figure all the people donating and the majority of the money isn't even actually making it to some of these charities. Some of the others ARE legit-don't get me wrong- not ALL of them are scammers, in fact the majority are run extremely professional for years,there's just some that that just blew it big time! I just stopped donating because I felt so betrayed. Ah well, whaddaya gonna do? Ya gotta get burned to learn I guess...
