I get tired of everyone wanting money and not items. I have also been dissapointed over the years with how money was handled. If some one needs food I would definitely give food over a quilt. I am just leary over giving money. When we adopted our first two children we also sponsored children in orphanages and send money monthly. When our children were home I asked the agency if I could send a thank you note and a picture to the people that had sponsored our children. I then found out that each of my children had 8 sponsors. The combined monthly money collected on each of my children was the same as a years income in the country they were living. It definitely was not spend on my children.
