Dangit. That is bad.
Tunnel to Towers is a good organization to donate to. They truly help all of our servicemen and their families. Money well spent.

We've been getting a lot of those lately. I asked one of the callers just how much of my $100 donation would go to the firefighters. I was really surprised he answered. He said that $10. would go to the firefighters. Quite a lucrative fundraiser for those doing the calling. I said no thanks. They do that in my city too. Believe it or not it is a couple of retired cops from my city working for some 3rd party soliciting the donations. About the same % too. It is almost criminal. But legal. Bet he cringed when you asked the % number , I think by law , they have to tell you the truth about the % of how much gets to the end recipient. He knew as soon as you asked the question he was done. I tell people this all the time , go to your local firehouse and give a donation directly to them. No middleman. Also , we did flower sales on Easter and mother's day at my firehouse. Some even sell Christmas trees , we did not we didn't have the room.

Volunteer Firefighters scrap for every dollar they can get for much needed gear. Help us , help you. Who could say no to helping out this beautiful firefighter ?

My late sister Ellen retired as a Captain from the Madison PD. Her advice to me on such matters was to give directly to only local organizations.
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

I'm surprised they told you. I am too! Thats Unreal I think they have to by law. Let's face that industry could be very easily be used for fraud. Years ago a friend of mine was working for a short period of time doing telemarketing/ soliciting funds for ' United Federation for the Blind ' during his training for the job they told him that if the people they had on the line looking to donate money assumed or thought they were talking to a blind person, that was ok. But they were crystal clear about not lying about it . At all. No tiny white lies either. If the donor asked anything questions about the telemarketer being blind or not. Complete truth. No if ands or butts. Period. The bosses there must had some serious fear of getting caught.
