Those are good with fine reputations. But there's lots of warnings about bogus charities springing up too. I got a call today from some one for the "Haitian National Relief Fund" , when i heard the typical "boiler room" in the background, I hung up. But legit or not, I won't donate over the phone, especially to those who wish credit card info. Red Cross, Salvation Army... Why go anywhere else and pay someone to set up in Haiti when The RC is already there? Scotty Actually the first 4 charities were listed as the best choice for contributing to Haiti by Charity Navigator, because of there strong logistical network already in Haiti, and because greater than 94% of the contributions go to those intended. Red Cross sucks! We sent $600 to Red Cross earmarked For Katrina Aid. Later we found out NONE of it went to the the aforementioned. Red Cross is big business playing on the sympathy and generosity of the unsuspecting. There are plenty of worthy charities that do good work with very little overhead costs. Many of them are religious groups.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Today, the Southern Baptists Association are sending two semi truck loads of food and various suplies from a three county area to Florida to be loaded and sent. No offense, but if I were running a foreign country, the last groups I'd let in for any reason are fundamentalist religious organizations, and the southern baptists qualify on all counts. Organizationally, they are evil incarnate. Note that I am not commenting on individual followers of that sect.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Burt then again, you're not running a forien coutry, and they have had missionaries there for years. There's probably more mission run clinics there in Haiti then any thing supplied by any government inside, or outside No offense, but only an idiot would belong to any church, and the baptists are the worst church in the world. I hope you were not offended.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No, I'm not offended at all, seeing the church has been ridiculed for the last 2000+ years? Oh yes, over the ages there have been some bums that have acted out evil in "Gods name" but over all, there has been great compassion and humanitarianism that has been spread by "the church" asking for nothing in return. You're responding to an ID spoofer. Well you could have fooled me. Have a miserable day. Hurrumph! |
