I'm very upset, but not surprised, about the news of four cancer charities accused of $180 million in scams.
Reasons I'm reluctant to give to cancer charities? Even as a survivor? These. I do not support Komen nor many national organizations. I prefer donations be kept in county. Unfortunately there are no major fund raising happening in Monroe County to do so. One local program can assist with gas $. However there is need for help with co-pays, transportation, prevention programs, dectection programs, Hospice care expenses. The list is so long as to what services locally are needed.
Perhaps. Perhaps research is getting plenty of the pie...
Local funding? Sounds like a blog for later....
