Charities...Do you or do you not give?

I do not have that much disposable income to donate to every cause but I gave a couple of bucks here and there when I was looking for a dog to adopt at the Humane Society. Can't say I'm very conscious about that,either,but when they ask me at the restaurants,for example,whether I would like to donate a dollar,I never refuse. Donating to the Salvation Army is good,too but I one thing I hate about holiday season is that there are too many people that ask for donations,and if you give a dollar at every store you go,you'll be broke by the end of the day! I want to donate at my own pace without people waiting in ambush for me at the Walmart door:) Does donating clothes count? I do that every once in a while

People are puzzled and numbed by so many illusive cadgte or charities. I used to support a girl whose family is very poor for two years. The girl is very smart and she is a hard-working student too. Two years later, she discontinued her studying just because her family wanted her to earn money to support the family. I was angryed about this when I knew this. I went to the homeland of the girl to look at her.But I was unable to go into her home and her mother drived me by a broom! I was told at last that the girl was sent to a big city to work in a factory. I am despondented.

We give monthly to a Christian radio station that is listen supported. We also give monthly to Christian Children's Fund. Our "child" lives in India. We give a little to other charities, but not on a regular/monthly basis. I don't think you should feel ashamed that you don't give regularly. If you want to give, find one you like.
