I can't afford large donations, but I find sending them $20 every few months doesn't break the budget. One thing you can always do, is to speak well of them and encourage others to support them even if your own funds are limited. And, despite the cute picture posted earlier, I don't think it is a bad thing to let people know about worthy causes you support. I think we can all recognize when someone is playing "the look how good I am... I gave $$$$$ card" :P quote:

ORIGINAL: rhondabrwn I'm with you... Doctors Without Borders gets my contributions. They do good work and only about 8% goes for administration and fund raising. With ALS it's 27%... better than a lot of them, I'll admit, but not in the same class. If there is a disaster in the world, you ALWAYS see Doctor's Without Borders on the scene. Right now they are fighting Ebola and that is one high risk endeavor :( Like everything else, you can find some skeptics out there who are critical of their operation, but I'm satisfied that they are a organization to support. I have also been known to support the Red Cross and CARE. quote:
ORIGINAL: Orm I am not good at speaking about charities and such. And I am even worse writing about it. But I am glad that there are people out there who do as much as they can. Today I had the opportunity to give a little to a organization that I have confidence in. If it is misplaced I am sure that you guys will tell me about it. I hope that I do not violate forum rules to link to their site. http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/ Regarding the ice thingy I do not understand how pouring ice water on my head will help anyone. I do get the commercial value of celebrities doing so but on my head... please. DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS!!! I notice them on the cutting edge of fighting the ebola outbreak as well as helping the victims. Some of those doctors have DIED in the process I believe, haven't they? I wish I had money right now to donate. Are there other ways to help Doctors Without Borders for those of us who are currently not making an income? Do you know Rhonda? I give them all my blessing in the world but my blessings plus 25 cents aren't even worth a cup of coffee.
