PhillyKev 0 #3 December 29, 2004 By the way. You can give as little as $5 with your credit card at the link above. And anything you donate is tax deductible for this year even if you don't get the credit card bill until next year. So after the tax deduction and my match a $10 donation will only cost you around $3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried to be a nice guy but I've had some bad dealings w/ the red cross as so have some of my relatives. They were charging the soldiers for cigs in WWII that were donated or so I'm told. I tried to donate my time, labor and tools in the Fla. tornados a few years back and was threatened w/ jail if I tried to gouge. I was just being a nice guy and I understand some people do that but I have a bad taste in my mouth for the Red CrossI hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #20 December 29, 2004 I, along with my family, always donate cash through a non-profit organization that my family helps to run because we know where our money will go. However, due to Phillykev's act of selflessness and generosity, I have also donated a little tiny bit to the Red Cross for him to match. We should all want for him to meet his goal. Edited: Akarunway, your concerns may be valid for you, but maybe we should just think positive thoughts on this and let it go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ChrisL 2 #21 December 29, 2004 Charging for smokes 50 years ago isnt really of any consequense and whether or not it actually happened at all is based on hearsay. Cigarettes are hardly life or death (no matter how hooked you are) and I doubt that the Red Cross provide them at all now, free or otherwise. Your other bad experience sounds like they were trying to protect people from other unscrupulous folks trying to capitolize on others suffering. A worthy effort even if some feelings were hurt in the process. Better that than people in need being taken advantage of, wouldnt you agree?__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites sunshine 2 #22 December 29, 2004 I still think it's BS to charge people to be put on the bone marrow donor registry. Just because i don't agree with that aspect of the red cross, has no bearing on me donating money to those affected by the tsunami. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

I donated $50 yesterday to the international red cross tsunami fund. I'm sending you a PM... I agree that as the richest nation we need to share. This disaster made me realize that for the first time. But I also agree that there is a lot of money pouring in, and these victims need so much more than money right now. I hope that the relief organizations can moblize and organize all the logistics to put these financial donations to immediate use. Thank you, Kev, for your generous offer to match. God bless and protect all the pour souls effected by this unimaginable tragedy. And may all the dead rest in peace..."At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites katecooper 0 #25 December 29, 2004 Greetings I have an alternative option for those who would like to donate to an organization where 100% of the donations will go directly to help victims in Thailand. Here is an excerpt from an email I received from them: Thanks for your heart!! We will be glad to see that your donation gets to Thailand and 100% of it will go to those who are in need. We have a missionary there in Phuket (Loren Hollingsworth) who will be charged with directing the funds sent by good people like you. Our mailing address is: Court Drive Church of Christ PO Box 372 Palestine, TX 75802 Please mark your check with "Thailand Relief" The International Red Cross is a wonderful organization, but if you want more "bang for your buck" this (and other smaller organizations) have less overhead. Anything we can do to help is greatly appreciated. Please note this organization is for Thai relief only. blue skies kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Prev 1 2 3 Next Page 1 of 3 Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
