Do you find that when you give to a charity, they keep bombarding you with requests for further /ongoing donations? Especially in these times with the cost of living crisis, how do you deal with these requests? And do these requests make you feel guilty if you can't afford to give the same amount, less, or not at all?

These days with the cost of living in Australia being so high, it's even harder to have money to donate to any charities. Also, I don't like how a lot of the money donated goes to the CEOs of the charity rather than to the people or cause the money is actually supposed to help. I am not feeling guilty at all because I am finding it hard to pay my bills.
