Am I being unfair?

With most charity collectors getting paid a hefty "wage", where is the money really going? Which charities actually give all the money to the people they are collecting for?

Goulah - I really don't think you are being unfair. My donations to charity ceased after the Bali bombings when the Red Cross of all places did NOT help out victims of this horrendous event here in Australia. They, the victims or victims families simply did not receive what we we Australians donated.

I have ceased donating completely after this we seem to help out all others except people in Australia. I know it seems very harsh but I do not condone the % of funds raised that go to admin fees, call centres etc.

I do donate clothing to Churches that have Op Shops.

I have lost confidence in so called Charities!
