I got a call for the fop (fraternal order of police) so I asked him how much actually goes to them versus the caller. He said "Im instructed to tell you that a minimum of 10% goes to the charity we represent." I said "what only 10%?" And then he hung up on me. Its really important to ask them that question and if you want to give, give directly to the charity, not to the callers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year, Kids Wish Network raises millions of dollars in donations in the name of dying children and their families. Every year, it spends less than 3 cents on the dollar helping kids. Most of the rest gets diverted to enrich the charity's operators and the for-profit companies Kids Wish hires to drum up donations. In the past decade alone, Kids Wish has channeled nearly $110 million donated for sick children to its corporate solicitors. An additional $4.8 million has gone to pay the charity's founder and his own consulting firms. http://www.tampabay.com/topics/specials/worst-charities1.page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do doctors without borders share the Gospel? I once heard a complaint by missionaries in Cambodia that the big hospital ships hinder the Gospel message. I don't remember why.

I did not think that Doctors without borders was a Christian organization. I could be wrong. They just do a lot of medical work to those outside the U.S. who really need it and who can not afford it.
