I do try. My husband and I give on the average of $40,000 yearly to local charities and churches. (Regardless of faith since all have a need) We also provide support for a couple of small schools in South Africa and China. Also thanks to a wonderful boss (well his wife really) I am able to donate our old company computers both PC and Mac, which we cycle off every 3 years to youth groups, retirement homes and needy family’s who could not other wise afford them. I really can’t see the point in having if I don’t share what good fortune I do have with those whom do not. Although I did find it a bit odd that the City of Los Angeles frowns on giving directly to the homeless. Not sure if it’s the city or groups but I did get rather well chewed out for just taking a car load of food, blankets and clothing to downtown LA where those poor people were sleeping in boxes and had fires in trash cans and the street to keep warm. I plan on going back this year and doing it all over again.. I doubt they can throw me in jail for giving out blankets and coats. Brandy
