Do you donate?

[dansazz]

do you donate your money to charity? if so, why do you do it? if not, why don't you?

[davidh121]

I donate as I think this is the right thing and there are certain groups I have a personal connection with as I had/have family affected by a certain condition and/or they were helped by the organization in the past.

I do donate.  I think it's important and besides it makes me feel good.  I don't have a lot of money, but it doesn't take a lot to donate to a few charities, etc, every year.  I also believe that what goes around comes around.  Put out good to the world and you will get it back.

I try and send something to paralyzed vets mostly because I feel these are soldiers who put their life on the line to keep this nation free, at the cost of losing limbs, etc.

[StarlitNirvana]

I donate whenever I can - money, clothes, food because I believe every little thing helps, so I try my best

[raven1114]

I do when I can. It may not be much but I don't have much myself. We almost always put at least a little change in the donation thing at Walmart for Children's Miracle Network as well as donate clothing and such to places/people.

I've always been a big believer in donating to charity.  Whether it's official charities or unofficially by helping out my neighbors and friends.  I don't really donate to make myself "feel" good, I do it because it's simply in my nature.  It doesn't occur to me not to donate.  I have a bigger problem saying "no" to donating when I simply don't have the means. 

There are some many things I'd like to help out to make the world a better place, but I know I would never be able to do them all on my own, but I do have money or things I no longer need that I can send to organizations who do have the resources.

I donate to Planned Parenthood when I can. They really helped me when I didn't have insurance getting birth control and I appreciate their focus on women choice and health.

I donate whenever I can but unfortunately I need the money most of the time for myself.  My kids are very active and expensive!

I try to donate when I have the money. I also donate clothes. A charity  I like to donate to is Sick Kids hospital in Toronto. and a few others also.

[dmahoney]

I donate What I can when I can whether it be money, clothes, household goods, etc., but times are tough. I know things are tougher for others tho.

[BATISTAGIRL663]

I donate to certain charities that near and dear to my heart. Plus to the goodwill and others. I worked with the united way for several years, and found it really made a differance to other people.Mostly in the battered womens section and with the madd charity. This was due mostly to a drunk driver that ran into my youngest son (18) and his cousin and the two girls with him. Killing all four including himself. They wouldn't let me serve on jury because of it. This was for dwi and dui's I wonder why. Even if this had not happened i still would have helped out. Everyone should pick a charity and help out it is very rewarding.

Yes, I do donate. I dont throw things away if I see some one else can get more usage out of it. I just get tired of looking at some things, the majority of the time it dont be anything wrong with it. So i just give it away to someone that may need it. I donate clothes to a church down the street from where I stay. I like donating, it makes me feel good.....
