yes. i did research.
their intentions are good but they have some querks to how they're doing it.
i feel as though they have gone against the rules of a "non-profitable" organization.
so... i stopped my donation.
but kept the starter kit.
i don't want to just hand them my money and not get anything in return.
and by getting the starter kit i can at least have a way to make his name known.
even though there are a lot of questionable things about this charity, this guy got his voice heard.
his idea is being shared.
he is making a change.
and i am inspired.
i want my life to be worth something.
i want to help people.
i am a very fornuate person.
i have the resources necessary.
i want to help people.
so instead of donating to a cause where people are paid more than the children are helped, i am giving my money and time to child rescue.
this is my charity.
it is my cause.
why do i love this charity?
- it helps people in the US
- better yet, it helps people in my neighborhood
- i have seen my money in action
- its also an invisible problem that the world hates to discuss
i am passionate about child rescue.
i love the work they do and the actions they're taking to make the world a better place.

I realized when I watched the video that they must have large amount of expenses. Just the advertising plus things like travel must add up. While I think we would love to see 100% of donations go directly to those in most need and see people volunteering their time, it's not realistic. A large part of their goal is raising awareness so I was not surprised that so much of there money goes toward that end.
