Charities what are the best ones? AretoNyx: I saw some say poverty is fake and pointing out homelessness is a leftist agenda keeping people poor aa if that fixes or helps a thing. That kinda got me a little ticked off how people that suffer are seen as fake news or that hating on others with stereotypes is thought to fix a thing. So I made a playlist how poverty is a real thing. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_e0DBcigH_8LpvJv3geqxxu4Sjj1zOrK AretoNyx: They work when I use all sorts when they are on my phone. If having to much trouble one can copy paste a link. Maybe country to country makes a difference too? It does for some videos being allowed shown. AretoNyx: I guess I am the exception. Lol Strange things happen around me it seems. It is ok. Hope your day is a good one. AretoNyx: I have noticed how different desktop is from on a cell phone in use of wire. Thanks for the video. The giant midget: Most of the charities organization out there regardless of the causes ,take a huge percentage of the donations funds for administrative costs. The normal rate is around the 80 percent rage some even close to 90. A organization that I belong to .Several years ago received a plea from a healthcare facility needing funds to purchase MRI machine, they were specific on brand and cost , we banged our heads and started the networking to fundraising the monetary funds , when during a golf charity event ,a salesperson for a elevator company mentioned that his brother was the Vice President of international sales for said MRI machine company, contacts are established over a few weeks as per costs ,delivery dates , installation etc.wow blessing from the skies..things were looking great ,basically 2 machines for half of what the health care facility asked us to fundraise . Proudly our directors met with the hospital officials with all the proper paperwork in hand ready to shipped from Europe, when they are told very politely that the facility didn't need such equipment, they were in need of the funds only It's all about money AretoNyx: It is terrible and things are not free as such to spend on transportation, keeping buildings open, if they actually hired people , and so on. You will not see me giving such as mega churches or cults money though. AretoNyx: I just volunteer...no I do not get paid for helping pantries and soup kitchens. I have been helped and so understand why at least taking half to keep things running such as food in safety... I rather not get food poisoning...if needing a pantry. If one thinks it is a bad organization such as some may feel Doctors Without Borders...then do not donate. It is terrible that happened and when even politicians get that sort of money just to use it selfishly. Scams to cons...but what are the best ones that help. (Edited by AretoNyx) The giant midget: I refuse to donate to organizations that claim to help abroad like the WE charity, it collected millions of dollars in government funds and millions from public funds every year to fund schools in Africa past 15 years. To date only less than 400 grand has been spent, the rest has been invested in real estate in very expensive metropolitan cities under a totally different identity. AretoNyx: I refuse to donate funds to churches and such charities. I donate things and my energy to help others though. AretoNyx: Lol majority of countries do. However there still are homeless in those countries and those struggling out of poverty for many different reasons. It is an ancient thing where people struggle and science helps us as a species long run at most. However humans are not perfect and so here we are. The giant midget: My son and I usually buy grocery store gift cards and just give it to be people randomly. We have invited homeless people over for dinner. AretoNyx: That is very nice to do. I could not afford that at the moment. We do not even eat out. I use a food pantry. The giant midget: We rarely eat out or order takeouts specially from the big box junk like McDonald's and the rest of them We love the rustic old world cooking at home it's a relatively calm family reunion on the daily basis.in my household everything evolves around the kitchen and food | Business Chat Room Similar Conversations |
