THERE ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS being sent to major organizations to feed and help the poor over-seas. And I don't see much as to where those funds are being used.

PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS asking for money to send to poor children and their families that are in distraught in Countries that needs our help.

I only see most religious Organizations (Churches) doing major work for the cast-outs, and abused Nations. Only a few that I know of, that is really giving to the poor and needed.

PEOPLE ARE always, bad mouthing what the (Churches) aren't doing. I think the (World) needs to recap, and rescope their views and opinions of what the (Church) is doing.

IT CERTIANTLY...want be the leading (Organizations) that take funds in a flase pretense of helping the poor and the needy.

WHERE IS ALL the money that was taken up for "The Katrina" mishaps.

I ONLY See "Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie" doing what proper Citizens needs to do, along with "Bono" and other people of concerns, along with the (Church).

Most of the "Gimics" fund raising groups, are just a scam to put money in their pockets. These people have no hearts for the poor...they only have hearts for themselves.

Out of all the money that has been "Raised" down through the years, there should have been more progress concerning helping the poor.

I Wonder?...who holds the cash, and where has it gone. Surely not to the poor and needed.

FOLKS...know where you put your money. "Give it to people that you can see "RESULTS."

I Give my money where I know the action is..."To People that Love People."

I DON'T give my money to people because they have a name. I watch, and give my money to people that I know is getting the job done.

God is going to hold every-one (Answerable). A GREEDY PERSON, loves hmself.

It is wonderful to give. Many people are in need. God is expecting for all of us to help one another, for this is the "Whole Duty" of man."

All organizations seem to use the plight of others to gain financially. Look at the Jerry Lewis foundations...All these years and millions of dollars and still no cure...nothing. But at least Jerry looks likes hes well fed though. And the feed the children foundations, seeing those little kids being USED and made to look sad so ppl send money, and nothing really happens. Its sad, and despicable. Ive given to United Way and found later that the money is spent elsewhere instead of what they advertise.
