I am a Puppy Sponsor for the Guide Dogs but the amount of mail I receive from them is amazing. Surely the money could be put to better use.

I used to support Doctors without Borders, however the spam online and the endless phone calls requesting more dollars made me question where my regular donation was being spent... until I finally pulled the plug.

Now that I have diabetes, I feel more comfortable supporting JDRF with lump sums. Not only could it help me as well as the community - they genuinely are appreciative of the support.

Of course I will continue to support other local and greater charities for calls for assistance, but I would have thought that a regular donation should receive a call of thanks, not to hassle you for 'not doing enough'!
