I’m going out on a limb here, tonight. I’m not one to complain, however, I’m going to post about something that is troubling me… I receive requests daily for donations of cash and product to support personal and community fundraisers. I donate far in excess of what I pay myself as a wage. I consider it an honour and obligation to respond to requests that will help my community. Last year, besides cash donations, I gave approximately $5000 in product, mainly leather handbags, ALL of which I personally cut and mostly handcrafted myself. I’m a member of your community who genuinely wants to help. So ---- here’s my grievance….. I am raising funds as a member of the “Fight Girls” CIBC Run for the Cure team, supporting my friend Leslie Keevill. I posted my fundraising goal and have seen very little response. If all of the charity representatives who have approached me in the past year donated only $10 each, I would have FAR exceeded my initial $300 goal. I thank the donors who have contributed so far and I hope my faith is restored so that I feel the continued blessings to respond to the numerous requests to give when I’m asked to donate.
