Wife sponsors a little girl in South America. We dont miss the $$ and it makes wifey feel good, so It's money well spent
I gotta say (this in my feelings, not wifeys) that it pisses me off that the charity that we give the money too sends a thankyou letter to us from the girl we sponsor every 3 months.
I called them and said, just spend all the money we donate to the girl - dont spend it on sending us any cards or letters.
Fuck me, what it costs to print those thankyous, and photos that they send us, will put the kid through college. PLEASE DONT SEND THEM.
Their response - sorry sir, we cant NOT do that.
Fucking Stupid if you ask me, but we stiill send the $$ every month.
Now the fuckers started calling both myself and my wife on our mobiles about once a month each, and asking for more $$. Been going on for a year. I have TOLD then every time thy call - NO I AM NOT GIVING YOU ANY MORE MONEY, STOP WASTING MY DONATIONS CALLING ME ON MY AND MY WIFES MOBILE - You are not getting any more $$.
So I think that the girl we sponsor, with all the letters and printed thankyous and photos, along with all the photos probably gets a $! a year from us.
I been trying to get the address of the girl my wife sponsors address so I can send $$ direct to her, in the post, so these FUCKING CHARITIES dont spend more than we donate thanking us for our fucking donation
