That's the main question for me. Several years ago there was peak of charity collectors ringing on your door and asking you to donate to their cause. They were offering a ticket back as a proof the hole thing is not a fraud. So I did on several occasions only to find out that it actually was a fraud.

Since then, when I decide to donate anything I only do so with honorable organizations that have established their good name over a couple of decades.
Sometimes you can not trust but you can donate to famous charities.

I personally have a website for free donations and for example if someone visit it daily and if they click the buttons then they have to trust me. But at this point they dont give any money.

So you must donate to registered good organizations if you are giving money and leave the rest to God.

------ you are right , but I though of a time when I wanted to do a " double blind " tithe -- I wanted to give to some one I did not know nor would they know me , to make a long story short ---- an envelope with much needed money was slip under a door ---- in house far away [ over seas ] from some that they never knew it took some logistics m but above it took a lot of trust ------ I had a great pleasure on that one ---- but the people involved were who I trust ----- as my saviour once said --- who ever is faithful with the little ---- would be faithful with the large -- I am not quoting literally , and I welcome any one to do so ---- but you get my point --- these people have bee faithful at all times ---- I knew the task in trusted people

You know may be , that we can create in this site a tread or forum to post trusted charity places or bring information in how these charities are rated ---- there is got to be a source from the government or private sector that could help identify , and separate the good from the bad ones ---- is just an Idea

You are absolutely right. Its much better to give someone who really need, of course without make him ashamed but its really hard these days to find people who really need and i am also worried how they will spend the money. Because i dont want my money that i wanted to give someone to spend for some booze by an alcoholic father. Thats why i suggest if we have people around us who really needs our help we can buy food or clothes or stuff they really need and we can put those in a box leave at their door step, ring the bell and run away Thats my way

Thank you Red Thunder Bird. I just want to do some good for people in need. Most of the people dont even notice how good their life is. Maybe they would notice it when they become poor. This world is enough for all of us. No need for anyone to suffer Have a great day my friend.

thank you Kreal we can all make a difference ----- I know some how that you are doing great ------- it is to be a cynic and say big deal ------ but if I am a dreamer I want to dream a better world , and act on it ---- knowing that until our LORD comes -- I dreamed big --- and acted bigger ----- for his glory ,and my joy

Default Helping People - Armand Tomo

I recently built a complete 65 bed hospital in the Caribbean and I also donate to many charities. The problem is sometimes with the more you give the more you realize what more needs to be done. So sometimes you feel bad that you can't help the whole world. By doing what you can, no matter what it is you will help someone. When I was working in the caribbean I was having an heated arguement about getting the work done faster and to stop the bureaucratic nonsense. The hospital was 90% complete and I had a problem getting the Ok for people from other islands to come for treatment. So, this agent is saying "...who do you think you are to come here and tell us how to run our country, who do you think you are, tell me, who do you think you are". Before I could say a word this seven year old boy who just received treatment for a fall out of a tree yells out "He's the director of this place, who the hell are you". The guy looked at me and signed the documents to allow people from other islands to come for treatment. Sometimes just a smile on a childs face is all the help and reward you need to feel good about what you're doing. - Armand Tomo, New York
