inMy $40 donation to a local animal rescue felt good but I'm not sure it helped
How did I not question this stuff before? I used to drop cash in every jar without a second thought, feeling like I did my good deed. Then my sister pointed out a "local youth sports" box at our gas station that had no town name or contact info, just a blurry photocopied sign. It hit me that I was just hoping for the best. Now I at least look for a website or a registered name before I give, even if it takes an extra minute on my phone.
