Pat.....

It certainly does leave one in a quandary.  One feels like a heel if they don't help each request and like a fool if they do.

Yes I try to contribute to several but the list keeps getting longer.🌺

Good Morning

There are so many commercials on TV asking for help for the animals, people, causes, and I certainly can't afford that.  I do like to give to our local shelters.  I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.

That's me as well. No I cannot give $19.00 a month to everyone of those stories I can't and I refuse to feel sorry, especially when their are Billionaires in this country.

I agree. So many donations don’t get to where they are supposed to go.

Re:

I forgot to add that I do give to the bell ringer's red pot whenever I see one.

They definitely play hardball on your heartstrings, but there are just too many of them to help unless you have the bank account of a billionaire. I do the same thing by helping local shelters with pet food, although I do give to St. Judes.

I finally had to pick my charities and leave the rest, but it does seem that everyone has a hand reaching for our pockets!

Thumbs up I feel the same way. More of that money needs to not just trickle down but cascade down!
