Michael, thanks for pointing this out!! People should be made aware that some of the organizations (some that Michael pointed out) waste 90% and only apply 10% to where it is needed. The Samaritan's Purse only has 10% administration fee and 90% goes to where it is suppose to go. They send out their annual statements showing what they took in and where the money went and what percentage. They are for the most part VERY efficient. Anyone wanting to donate to this excellent organization can do so by sending dollars to: Samaritan's Purse P.O. Box 3000 Boone , NC 28607-3000 Before many of the other organizations were even down there the Samaritan's Purse People were down there with relief!!! I might add that this has a tie in to the Billy Graham organization. I was planning to put some eBay auctions up selling meteorites and listing the Samaritan's Purse as the place the money would be sent to, as I believe it will do the most good. All my best! --AL Mitterling Received on Mon 05 Sep 2005 01:16:42 PM PDT |
