Charities & Causes

I'm on a disability pension and barely have enough to live on. So I have to be choosy and creative. There is a site called i-donate which sends you emails and donates money to your chosen charity via the points you accumulate.
I never give to charities that ring me up because they get too pushy.
I will always support local raffles.
And I give my time at the local neighbourhood house.

I am on a disability pension but try to give a little each month .There are always people worst off than me. I support natural disasters like the Dollar For Drought campaign which is crucial to supporting our farmers because we all rely on them for food. Giving the occasional dollar does not break the bank balance I will not support charities by phone because I do not know if they are genuine. Having a private number combats that problem. The other way I support charities is to sign petitions for environmental organizations which is just as good as giving , money
