THIS WILL PROPERLY START A STIR BUT I HAVE JUST
SEEN A CHARITY PLEA ON THE TV WHICH BUGGED ME A BIT

NOW I DON'T GIVE TO ANIMAL CHARITIES BUT IF ITS YOUR
CHOSEN ONE GOOD FOR YOU,SAYING THAT
WHEN I LEFT SCHOOL I DID SPONSER A DOG BEFORE
SUCH IDEAS WERE COMMON,

I GAVE A DONATION AS I DO NOW INSTEAD OF BUYING CARDS
IN CHARITY SHOP BOXES PLUS THE PHILIPPIANS APPEAL AT
OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL WE GAVE £5
I DO £20 IN ALL AS I PERSONALLY USED TO SEND OVER 40 CARDS +POSTAGE,
THERE HAS BEEN PLEAS FOR STREET CHILDREN IN POOR COUNTRIES
(MAKES YOU SAD TO THINK OF THEIR LIVES)
CLEAN WATER( THINK NEXT TIME YOU TURN ON THE TAP),
GROWING THEIR OWN FOOD (THINK NEXT TIME YOU THROW THAT ROTTON CABBAGE LEFT IN THE FRIDGE)
VACCINATIONS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED (GIVEN TO OUR CHILDREN FOR FREE)
EYE SITE TO SAVE A CHILD OR ADULTS SITE (WE CAN IF NEEDED GET FREE GLASSES)
THEY NEARLY ALL ASK FOR £3-£5.,,,,,A ONE OFF DONATION.

BUT I HAVE JUST SEEN TWO BRITISH PLEAS FOR THIS COUNTRY,
YES GOOD ONES BUT ONE ASKED FOR GIFTS FOR POOR £19 OR WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD,
OR
£10 TO FEED POOR OR HOMELESS.

THIS CHARITY I HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED
