I have another Tuesday thought

What's the deal with the $1 donations for this and that. I'm at the mall the other day and the lady asks me if I want to donate a $1. I can't even remember what it was for. Anyway, today I'm at the grocery store and the lady asks me if I want to donate $1 for breast cancer. Where is this money going? Is it really going to the fund your donating to?

Drives me crazy!! I feel like I can't go anywhere without being hit up for $ - church, the store, Megan's school fund raiser, Evan's school fund raiser, Cub Scouts... It never ends. The grocery store I go to is a chain and I'm sure they investigated the organization they give our contributions to so I don't mind that. I have 1 friend, 2 acquaintances, and several other people in know anecdotally who are battling breast cancer. My grandmother is a survivor. I always donate to that and would like to run in a race for it some day.

I run across this a lot too at my grocery store. sometimes I donate, sometimes I don't because I'm always giving to the Goodwill. I agree, it's annoying to be asked for $ constantly. I do trust it goes where it should...but who knows?

It may be just $1 but each one adds up quickly!
