Marc,

We all have to make our judgement on this matter - it is a personal decision.

Yes there is alot of fraud going on for example recently a young woman in Toronto had claimed she had cancer. She shaved her head and placed a scarf on. She was just asking for donations and did receive a quite a bit amount. She did this on her own, no agency.
Well Lord and behold she was faking it! She was charged.

Best is to check out and research where you plan to donate. I would not donate to someone asking for money straight out/ one on one.

I already help out in two non-profit groups.

The two links on this site are well respected and have been around for a while for some time.

The America Animal SPCA I am sure everyone knows. They are involved in this cause.


Marc the only way is audit their books, to see where all the money goes...and only the government can do that; here anyways.

Re: Skin Canacer- my dad has it and my mother last year went under surgery for cancer of the uterus. And has to be checked every 6 months to see if it has come back

My grandmother past away because of cancer and Myself had a scare back in 2000. Got to get tested again because of symptoms I have.


I am sorry to hear about your Health Care system..Everyone should have Health Coverage...we talk about your system here a lot.

But even here not all is covered if it is a new treatment/controversial or if you need certain type of treamment you may have to wait 6 months to a year. One lady mortaged her house to get immediate treatment in the states. If she would of waited she would of died.

Not all New medications/drugs are not covered...got to go across the border..so all is not perfect here either but I am grateful for what we have.
