Giving to charity and doing it yourself, what do you prefer and why?

Question

Many send money to charity and other institutions. However many prefer to do it themselves. To the people who work for them or the people in their surroundings or people in their own country or their birthplace. Many get satisfaction doing it themselves. Many do it themself to get popularity. Many give it to organizations, again to gain popularity. What you do is my question?

Answer 1

If I could, I would want to do it myself.

But I'm only 14...and so there are only a limited number or things I can actually do to help.

Right now, I can only donate money from my own wallet to help the less fortunate, but when I grow up, my dream is to become a doctor and to go volunteer to help people in Africa.  I know...big dream...but that's what I really want to do :)

Answer 2

When I was younger I wanted to give to help but I wanted to know how the money was being used. I wanted to know I was buying diapers for a single mom or helping pay an elctric bill to keep an elderly person in heat in the dead of winter. I wasn't sure how to go about that so I just created my own website where real people in need come and ask for my help. I , and others who visit, pick exactly where, when and how the money is helping someone making an immediate difference in someones life.

I do it myself.

Answer 3

it depends if the charity u give to are trusted/reputed cuz if they r then its better to let them give the money in the best form(food,clothing).u're not doing any big favor by giving them a lot of money(u r but not a BIG favour)....they may spend it wrong way,get robbed of them,may just be posers,may not know how to use it rite way(getting some form of employment)etc.

Answer 4

IF YOU GO FROM MY ADVICE, DON'T GIVE THE MONEY. TODAY IT'S THE WORLD OF COMPETITIONS, HATRED, EVIL and you have to face mocking too......! SELF SATISFACTION ATTAINED BY GIVING ALMS IS A MATTER OF UTTER NONSENSE. YOU HAVE TO REPENT AFTERWARDS. BUT ALSO REMEMBER GOD GIFTS YOU WHAT YOU GIFT OTHERS. BUT YOU GOTTA BE PATIENT IN THAT CASE.

                                                        IT'S YOUR CHOICE, MAKE IT LARGE BUT MY ADVICE IS - "GO FOR DON'T"

Answer 5

I prefer to do it my self

Answer 6

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if I do it myself, I know where my work goes.  If I drop a coin in a bucket, it could go anywhere.

Answer 7

I DO IT for income tax exemption

Answer 8

I usually do it myself. In fact, I never relied on organizations. I don't want popularity, but also these organizations should be verified because there are many people who say they represent a so-called organization for charity but in fact you give them money and the money goes completely somewhere else.

My family helps a very nice and hardworking man who does chores for our block of flats... we help him with food, clothes, money... he is really poor, but he works hard and doesn't beg...

Answer 9

I do it myself.

Answer 10

Doing is preferrable.
