I think that birddog was more so refering to how unsafe it is to donate to charity now a days. With so many charity organizations availible, it's hard to know who is legit and who is pocketing the cash. Also, I think your post was a little misleading. Maybe you should be more specific on your game plan and then you may yield a more postive response. I wasn't sure exactly what your proposal was based on what you had written. This site gets loads of charity proposals all the time, and many of them aren't for real. With that said, there are other ways to help out for the unsure.
Each states Department of Natural Resources or equilivent has lists of legitiment charity cases for each local area. They are a great resource and a good place to start. I know our local DNR does a ton for our kids and the community. I'm active in charity myself, but in my own way. I would rather sponsor a local kids event than donate money to a cause i'm not able to actually see the benefit of. Call me skeptical, but i'd rather be safe than sorry with my hard earned money, regardless of how small an amount it is.
But, thanks for sharing anyhow!
