I don’t know if this annoys anyone else but I hate going to the shops and shopping centres and being harassed to purchase stickers, tickets, badges or just have tins rattled at me, I know charities are doing It hard as are most people, how ever a lot of these sellers are on commission and a lot of commission, so not all of your money is going to the charity they are collecting for, several years ago my husband and myself made a decision that we would make donations each year to causes that meant something to us, we are not wealthy but after looking at our budget we decided on $2k per annum, we actually budget weekly for this. It is our contribution to the community, we donate this to PTSD for returned servicemen, we donate to the local childrens hospital, and children hearing impairment as we have a granddaughter who is profoundly deaf with 2 coclear implants, we still buy different tickets it they are supporting local sports teams, schools etc but our main donations we feel are making a difference and we control where they go, has anyone else made decisions like this.
