To the Editor:
Responsibility, trust,
respect, honesty.
Evidently, these words
don’t mean much to some
people today. I remember
when these were qualities
we valued, but not any-
more. I am concerned with
each of these, but I want to
focus on two in particular
with this letter: trust and
honesty.
We send support around
the world and in our country
when disaster strikes and
we are warned to be sure
the charities really help
where we intend. When
our friends and neighbors
have tragedies, our local
communities come together
to help in any way we can.
Use caution when donat-
ing to local charities or
accounts set up for specific
needs, again, make sure the
benefits will be received by
who it is intended.
I guess I am a “Pollyan-
na” when it comes to help-
ing those in need. I assume I
am dealing with honest and
trustworthy people. I trust
that my donations are being
used as I intended. When I
find out that isn’t true, I get
angry, frustrated and irri-
tated. I do realize that when
I give something it isn’t
mine anymore. I won’t stop
helping, but I will definitely
check things out. I urge you
to keep helping too, but ask
questions.
