    I only donate to a Rescue Mission in town, they help people with food, short term housing, showers, getting jobs, abused women and children, and folks trying to kick some habit.

    They have no clue who I am as all funds come thru an attorney. I will make my way there once a month and blend in, I get involved into where my funds should go and each month I notice how my donations are spent. Through my attorney and he donates too, I make recommendations and he sees they get done.

    There are many who whine about their donations don't get to where they want it to go, get into the trenches and go look. Ask questions and don't walk away till you get your answers. And if you don't know what to give and you don't want to give money, buy five, fifty or five hundred turkeys and donate to a mission or churches in the unfortunate parts of town, get involved to make sure they are not sold. Everyone wants to help at holidays to get into newspapers and TV, volunteers are desperately needed the other 363 days too.

    You just don't know how easy we have it looking at screens all day. This actually makes me work harder and better at my trading.
    Please think about it.
