I think it's just great all the donations we are giving out right now to the WTC tragedy. I just wish people would be more generous with the plight of homeless animals and the shelters we have. Espescially the celebrities who are donating enormous amounts of money! I certainly know were all my donations go to, in fact I just made a generous one last week to a cause I care so much about. Please everyone consider everyone animal or human. Lisa > Hi Peggy, > > I work at a nonprofit (not animal-related, unfortunately, although that would be fun) and we're having the same problem. We rely on foundation grants, etc. for our funding and we've been told that since they've given so much money for the relief effort in NYC, there's nothing left over for us, or any of the other charities they used to fund. Doesn't help that the economy is doing poorly right now - then people tend to give less as well. I'm a little concerned about losing my job. And I know so many people who have been laid off already. I know we all want to help the people in NY, but don't forget about the charities you normally fund!! I'm still giving part of my tax rebate to my usual charities. > > > In a message dated Fri, 28 Sep 2001 11:55:03 AM Eastern > > > > > <SPAN class=600351415-28092001>This > > morning on NPR (National Public Radio), I heard that because so many people have > > been donating money to the rescue relief fund of New York and D.C.,they > > are not giving to other charities.
