I'm not big at all on PM space, heck, I don't even post here very much anymore. As to the general topic...

I don't donate, as my money situation is pretty tight. However, I definitely would if I had the money/time/resources to do so. I'd only donate if I knew that the charities in question wouldn't pocket part/most/all of my donation Red Cross-style. Can't be too careful with charities anymore.
