It's extremely heart warming to see so many people in this community donate to a cause, even if they got scammed.
Personally, I donate to charities I identify each year in December as a % of that years income, not online people I don't know. I hope these charities around the world help these people that need help.
However, that doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing for people on CP to take a leap of faith. I do find it heart warming that so many people were willing to help. I have had a very lucky life, so maybe I just struggle to relate to a individual online going through a tough time pleading for help.
I picked the food-bank this year as I read a article about a man who said he never had been to the food-bank, and was too proud to go before, but pride won't feed his family now. I couldn't imagine being that person and it touched me. I think it was from a different city's foodbank, but it still applied to Calgary I figured.
