Charity
This is an urgent Appeal for help.
Are you thinking of giving financial support to a child living in the third world? Have you considered giving money to help people who don’t even have clean water to drink? Or enough food to eat? Do you want to provide medical treatment that could transform the quality of life of millions of people?
Well think again.
In Britain today thousands of useless domestic pets have a bit of a miserable time, because of owners who, for whatever reason, can’t stand the sight of them anymore.
For the money it costs to educate and inoculate a 7 year old boy in Mozambique: this weird panicky spaniel can spend the rest of his life in a hotel.
For the price of a cataract operation that would restore this Sudanese woman’s sight: you could fund months of trawling up and down motorways looking for kittens.
For the £3 a month that could equip and Ethiopian farmer with seeds and tools: you could provide a lifetime of doggy biscuits for this Labrador that wees itself every time it hears the hoover.
Please give what you can.

Re: Charity
I only give to animal charities. For every £1 I give there will be a hundered other people who dont give to animal charities because 'humans need it more'. I disagree with that so give to help animals.

I don't do charity because I'm Dutch.
Instead I act when needed.

Re: Charity
I started giving money to Mencap.
I was stopped in the street and was weak minded.
I'd also just been for a job interview and wanted good karma

Re: Charity
i used to donate to charity until i got taken over my overdraft and the direct debit bounced which was £5 a month, thus the bank charged me £35. I felt this was rediculous so cancelled the DD and looked after myself

Re: Charity
The extent of my charity is having sex with fat girls.
My philanthropic days are over now tho.
The tax breaks just don't interest me enough any more.
