What these people are doing is using your compassion for other people against you. You may feel sorry for the kids. But you have a right to your own life and money and to spend it as you see fit. Don't let them put you on a guilt trip. They use your goodness against you. They can only screw over good people
because they are good. That's the only weapon they have. Your goodness and compassion.
Besides, most of the money you donate very often doesn't end up in the hands of those it's supposed to help. You can bet that this chick is getting paid for putting you into guilt-mode to force you out of your money. Less money for the poor kids. Then there's the guy who organizes the whole thing. He gets paid, too. With your money.
If these people really cared for these poor kids, they wouldn't do it for money, would they? I mean, if they work for free that's another thing. But in most of the cases they are paid. The only companies I would donate money to would be those who don't pay their staff with the money I donate. Everything else is fucking hypocrisy. Putting everyone else on a guilt trip to demand their hard-earned money like they deserved it by right and guilt-tripping you into donating but then demanding quite a big chunk of that same money to put in their own work. Fuck them!
