My feelings on images with words purported to be fact posted to Facebook are documented.
So, this week I saw a new one:
I was shocked. I'm not the most savvy benefactor (actually, I'm a benefactress), but I LOVE some of these organizations - The Red Cross, The March of Dimes & UNICEF - and I've done my research.
Was it possible that I was duped? Does the March of Dimes really only spend $.10 of every dollar on services?
Um - you guessed it - NO! WRONG-O! What a shocker! Something posted on Facebook is WRONG.
I went to a very trusted site, Charity Navigator, and they had a blog post about the whole incident.
Charity Navigator is actually a nonprofit - so I donated $10 to them today as a thank you for being an excellent tool in my becoming the next Andrew Carnegie.
