I agree with this up to a point, used to donate money regularly until I discovered that a lot of the money that is donated goes on administration and not to the "actual cause" so now I prefer to donate tangible goods knowing they will be used.
You regularly hear of xxx amount of money being donated to this disaster or another yet you never hear of those people suffering through the disaster receiving xxx amount of money each to help with rebuilding for example, while a year or two later when the area affected is revisited you will see a lot of these people still struggling to recover. So what happened to the xxx amount of money that was donated?
